A family of four and their dog have been found dead inside a home in Sydney‘s north shore.
Police attended the home on Sir Thomas Mitchell Drive, Davidson earlier today following a concern for welfare report.
They found the bodies of a man, woman, boy and girl inside, the police media report confirms.
The family is believed to be Colombian and moved to the area in 2005.
A crime scene has been established, with the road cordoned off and homicide detectives on the scene. The cause of death is yet to be determined.
We’ll update this story as it unfolds.
