A man and woman have been found dead at a unit complex in a suspected murder suicide.

The man’s body was found in the courtyard of a building on Conder Street in Burwood, in Sydney’s inner west, just after 9.45am on Monday.

Officers later found the body of a woman with stab wounds inside a unit at the same complex.

The man and woman are yet to be formally identified. 

Police had been called to the complex following reports of a concern for welfare.

One resident who lives nearby said they heard a ‘really loud clap’ at about 6am on Monday.

‘I wasn’t sure what it was, I didn’t hear anyone scream though. It was dead silent,’ they told Daily Mail .

‘[Then] at around 8.15am I saw about eight police officers and three detectives.

‘Police were standing around counting the balconies, there was a white cloth there then it began to rain so they put up a blue tent.’

Detectives and a police helicopter are at the scene and it’s understood a possible murder suicide is being investigated by police.

NSW Police will hold a press conference at 4pm on Monday.

Anyone with information in relation to the incident is urged to contact local police or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
