Australian correspondent Donna Demaio told Kate Hawkesby Police believe the victims were killed with several blunt weapons and knives, almost a week earlier.

"Police do allege that these bodies were undiscovered for about 6 days."

She said it's the third such case in five months.

"Seven members of one family were found dead in a rural property in Margaret River, also three members of a family in Ellenbrook."
