Tragedy in Perth’s Mosman Park: Four Family Members Found Dead
A quiet, affluent street in Perth’s western suburbs has become the focus of a deeply confronting police investigation, after four members of the same family were found dead inside their home in Mosman Park.
Western Australian police say the deaths are being treated as a suspected murder-suicide. The victims are two adults, a man aged 50 and a woman aged 49 and their two teenage sons, aged 14 and 16. Emergency services were called to the house after a distressed call from someone known to the family, who arrived for a pre-arranged appointment and could not get a response.
When officers entered the property, they found all four family members deceased inside the home. Police have confirmed there is no ongoing threat to the public, but the scene has been described by detectives as confronting and highly distressing, even for experienced officers.
Investigators say the bodies were not found together and they are still working to establish exactly when the deaths occurred. A note was located at the house and is now a key part of the investigation, though police have not disclosed its contents. At this stage, authorities say there is no indication of a violent struggle and no weapon has been identified.

Police have also confirmed that both teenagers had significant health challenges and had been in contact with care services. Investigators are now examining whether those circumstances played any role in what happened. Out of respect for privacy, no further details about the children’s medical conditions have been released.
The tragedy has sent shockwaves through Mosman Park, a close-knit community known for its quiet streets, prestigious schools and strong neighbourhood ties. Neighbours have spoken of regular visits by support workers to the home and described the family as private. One of the boys attended a specialist education centre linked to a leading Perth school, which has offered support to its community while allowing police inquiries to continue.
Local leaders and first responders have acknowledged the emotional toll this incident has taken, not just on the family’s relatives and friends, but also on police officers, paramedics, school communities and neighbours who woke to emergency sirens on a street where nothing like this was expected.
Beyond this single case, the incident has renewed difficult conversations about mental health, caregiving pressure and the level of support available to families dealing with complex, long-term challenges. Experts say these tragedies rarely come down to one moment, but instead reflect systems under strain and people who may feel overwhelmed and isolated.
As investigators continue piecing together the timeline and circumstances, authorities are urging compassion, patience and respect for those affected. This is a developing story and its impact will be felt far beyond one household.
