Grandparents’ alleged murder-suicide is being investigated by police at their house in the southern suburbs of Perth.
On Sunday night, one of the couple’s two children arrived for dinner at their Cooloongup house, but they didn’t answer the door.
While his wife Linda Gielink, 66, worked as a support teacher in elementary schools, Ernest Gielink, 70, volunteered as a driver for the underprivileged.
Police are looking into a possible murder-suicide involving grandparents in Perth that occurred at their residence in the southern suburbs of the city.
Police claimed they were not looking for a third party while they were looking into the killings. A knife was reportedly used in a murder-suicide.
Tony Scottney-Turbill, a friend, claimed that Mr. Gielink had recently deteriorated.
He claimed that “he lost a lot of weight and hasn’t been himself.”
“Both used to walk a lot, but I haven’t seen him or her walking together in a while.”
The memory of a final visit at the neighborhood store is now unsettling.
“We had hardly passed him when he asked if we could drive him home. I’m by myself here.” said Scottney-Turbill.
On Sunday night, one of the couple’s two children arrived for dinner at their Cooloongup house, but they didn’t answer the door.
“Considering that he drives himself, I felt that was a little odd.”
The church-goers arrived in the area from South Africa thirty years ago.
The loss has been felt throughout their neighborhood.
Scottney-Turbill said that during the holiday season, “she would invite us over for Christmas feasts.”
