Sources have told The Age the pair were Ingrid House, 63, and her son Nicholas House, 34. Police are investigating whether they died as the result of a murder-suicide.

Police said on Friday they weren't looking for anyone else in relation to the deaths.

Detectives from the Monash Crime Investigation Unit are investigating, with assistance from the homicide squad.

Neighbours had earlier described the shock of seeing ambulances and police arrive in their quiet court, with officers remaining on scene late into the night.
