The death of a British couple in New Zealand is the subject of an investigation as a suicide murder, police said.
Police said that a man and a woman, who were not appointed, were found after police were invited to make a social protection check in Roseneath, a suburb of the Wellington capital on Monday.
The couple would have moved to New Zealand from the United Kingdom at the end of last year.
Det Inspector Haley Ryan said the police did not seek anyone else compared to the incident, but appealed to any information related to the case with them.
Police said in a statement that they “provided family support at the center of this tragic event”.
“The family asked for privacy by crying for their loss,” they added.
The police said that two bodies were found after the police forced entering a property on Palliser Road this morning, a family member concerned to check them.
The couple’s neighbor, Emma Prestidge, said radio-Zeeland radio-Zeland radio-editor that they had moved to the London region.
“My understanding is that they had finally excited their lives in London, and all their things were in an expedition container and they were trying to move here for good,” she said.
“They were in the next phase of their lives, I suppose, and ready to somehow put themselves for the next part of their chapter, which is really sad.”
New Zealand police have urged anyone with video surveillance from the region to contact. The inspirer Destures Ryan said earlier that the case was returned to the coroner.
The BBC contacted the United Kingdom’s office for foreign affairs and the New Zealand coroner office to comment.
