Man charged with murder in Hamilton double-homicide investigation

Police investigating two unexplained deaths in Hamilton East yesterday have arrested one person.

A 34-year-old man will appear in the Hamilton District Court tomorrow on two charges of murder.

Police were notified around 4pm yesterday after two people were found deceased at an address on York Street.

“Later in the evening, an injured man presented himself at hospital, and officers connected the man to the deaths”, said Detective Inspector Stephen Ambler.

“Cordons and a scene guard was placed overnight at the address, and Police will remain to carry out a scene examination.

“Police would like to reassure the community that this was an isolated incident, and we are not looking for anyone else in relation to the matter.

“Our thoughts and condolences are with the loved ones of the two people that died.”
