The Advertiser has named the woman as Adeline Yvette Rigney-Wilson, a 29-year-old mother of two.

A 30-year-old man was last night taken into police custody and charged with three counts of murder.

Police investigators, including forensic officers, were examining the home overnight.

Family members gathered at the property around 7pm, and a relative was seen removing the family's dog from the property.

The man was refused bail and is expected to face Elizabeth Magistrates Court on Tuesday.
