A man suspected of the murder of a woman and two children near Adelaide has left hospital under heavy police guard. | |
Police found the bodies of a five-year-old boy, six-year-old girl and 29-year-old woman inside a rural property in Hillier on Monday afternoon. | |
The 30-year-old man was found outside the home and is expected to be charged with murder. | |
He was initially held at Lyell McEwin Hospital but was later taken away by detectives in an unmarked police car, wearing a blue jumpsuit and a hood over his face. | |
Detectives remained at the scene of the large, secluded property on Jack Cooper Drive, about an hour north of Adelaide into Monday evening. | |
Officers were called to the property about 1.30pm and searched inside after speaking to three men at the scene. | |
Police declined to say how the victims died or whether they were related to the suspect but said the incident appeared to be linked to domestic violence. | |
“This matter doesn’t involve any other people and it does appear at this stage to be domestic related,” Chief Inspector Alby Quinn said. | |
The suspect is expected to face court on Tuesday. |
