00:00 Police were called to a property in Rosewater in Adelaide's North West on Saturday afternoon
00:06 by relatives of the victims.
00:09 Those relatives had become concerned about their family members.
00:13 They went to the property to check on them and that's when they were confronted with
00:17 what police have described as a horrific scene.
00:20 Police said that a 76-year-old woman and a 55-year-old man were found dead inside the
00:26 home after having sustained significant injuries.
00:30 The victims were a mother and a son.
00:34 Police said a 43-year-old man of no fixed address but had been living in a property
00:39 adjacent to the victim's home has been arrested and charged with two counts of murder.
00:44 He is going to be facing the Port Adelaide Magistrates Court later today.
00:48 No other suspects are being sought after but let's have a listen to what police said across
00:54 the weekend.
00:55 We're in the early stages of our investigation.
00:59 The motivation for it remains unclear.
01:01 I expect that will unfold and evolve as we get through our investigation.
01:10 The relationship between the suspect and the occupants of that address is unknown.
01:18 The alleged murders have come as a real shock to the local community and neighbours are
01:24 finding it really hard to comprehend that this has happened.
01:27 They've said that it is generally a really quiet neighbourhood.
01:32 Police are asking for anyone with any information to come forward and assist them with their
01:36 investigations.
