London: A British couple has been discovered dead in a home in New Zealand’s capital, it has been reported.
New Zealand Police said the pair, who have not been named, were found after officers responded to a welfare check in Roseneath, a beach-side suburb of Wellington, on Monday.
Local media reports the couple is British, having moved to New Zealand late last year. Detective Inspector Haley Ryan said police were not looking for anyone else in relation to the incident.
“Based on the results of a scene examination and other enquiries, we will be referring the case to the coroner,” she said.
“Post-mortems were completed today, and police will continue to have a presence in the area as we work to understand the reasoning behind this tragic incident.” Ryan confirmed officers forced their way into the home after being contacted by a concerned family member. (PA Media/dpa)
