Neighbours say they didn't hear anything overnight but saw several fire engines and a large police presence, including forensic experts, in the morning. They say the house is a Housing NZ property and the current tenants had only lived there for a few months.
Whānau gathered outside and performed a haka as the body was removed from the property. A post-mortem examination took place on Thursday.
