NSW Police have today spoken to the media after the body of a man and a teenage boy were located inside a home at Yamba yesterday.
At about 1.10pm yesterday – Thursday 1 June – police were called to a property on Kookaburra Circuit, Yamba, after reports two bodies had been found.
The bodies of a 58-year-old man and 15-year-old boy were located inside the property, both suffering gunshot wounds.
While the investigation by officers from Coffs Clarence Police District is in its infancy, police don’t believe a third party was involved – with few details being released this tragedy appears to be a murder–suicide with a strong possibility that the older man held the weapon.
