The bodies of two people have been discovered at a central Queensland home.

Rockhampton police were called to do a welfare check at a home on Lion Creek Road in Wandal shortly after 8pm last night.

Officers found the bodies of a 76-year-old woman and a 37-year-old man.

A neighbour, who did not want to be identified, told the ABC she heard screaming, saw torch light and a man running along the side of the house between 7:30 and 8:30pm.

“Then I went to the kitchen and I did hear more screaming, and my daughter came and said there were police everywhere,” she said.

The neighbour said the street was usually “pretty quiet”.

“I’ve never heard the dogs go off like they did last night,” she said.

At this stage, the cause of death is undetermined.

A crime scene has been established, and investigations are continuing.
