Bodies of an 83-year-old woman and 51-year-old man were discovered in an Enoggera house at Lone Pine Street yesterday afternoon. Authorities believed the two may have been dead for nine days already.

People living nearby were asked and told police that they haven't seen them for nine days. Authorities are currently trying to find out if anyone else has a more recent contact with any of the two. .
The elderly woman and man have rented the house two years ago according to some neighbors. The man took care of the woman, who was believed to be his mother.

Sometimes one of the man's sons visits the house. According to neighbors, no other person pays a visit aside from him,
One of the nearby residents named Gloria Peters was interviewed and revealed that the two barely communicate to other people. She only had the chance to talk to her when they have newly moved in. Since then, Ms. Peters never had the opportunity to speak to her again or to any of the people living nearby.
Police confirmed that a person went to the house, but did not enter before they were informed.
