A woman led away by police from an east Auckland home where a person was found dead could be heard demanding to know why she was arrested, a witness says.
Police found the body in a suburban home in Half Moon Bay yesterday afternoon.
Forensic teams in white overalls thismorning then returned to the Casuarina Rd house to examine it in fine detail, while a police officer stood guard outside.
Police earlier said they were speaking to someone from the home.
A close neighbour said a woman, who looked to be aged in her 40s, was taken away by police.
“She was saying, ‘Why am I getting arrested, why am I in the back of the car, let me out, why can I not go into my house’?” the neighbour said.
The neighbour said she had been told by police it was the woman’s father who was found deceased in the home.
During her four years living in her own house, the neighbour said she’d only had limited interactions with the woman taken away by police, but that they were “creepy”.
