Western Australia Police confirmed this morning that up to five people, two women and three children, were found dead at a home in the Perth suburb of Bedford.
Police officers went to the house on Coode Street in Bedford after a man, who’s in his 20s, entered the police station and informed them. That person has now been taken in custody and it is not yet known whether the victims were related to him.

“It’s sickening to think someone could do that.”
