Little information released about Clendon Park incident

From Morning Report, 8:12 am on 12 August 2022

Police are tight-lipped about an incident in the Auckland suburb of Clendon Park, where at least one body was removed from a house by police yesterday.

Two hearses left the property on Moncrieff Avenue in Clendon Park late in the afternoon.

RNZ understands two adults and two children live at the house but the police are refusing to provide any detailed information - only saying they attended an incident.

They erected a tent at the side of the driveway and forensic experts in white boiler suits scoured the grounds.

A woman living near the house says she heard unusual sounds, before the police arrived, at about nine or ten o'clock in the morning.

RNZ reporter Jonty Dine spoke to Corin Dann.
