Police investigating second note in tragic murder-suicide

A detailed second note found inside the home indicates planning and a joint decision by the parents, with police investigating amid concerns over carer exhaustion and NDIS funding cuts.

  • About 8:15am on Friday officers attended Mott Close in Mosman Park, where Western Australia Police found Jarrod Clune, Maiwenna Goasdoue, and their sons Leon and Otis dead, treating it as a double murder-suicide.
  • Inside the home investigators found a second note that outlined the family’s mindset and financial wishes, while a front-door note warned not to enter and urged a carer to call police.
  • A support worker arriving for a scheduled appointment found a front-door warning, called triple-0, and police located the four family members and three pets — two dogs and a cat — dead inside.
  • Police say the investigation is ongoing and homicide detectives are still examining the circumstances, with WA Premier Roger Cook calling it an `unimaginable tragedy` and urging people to seek help.
  • Friends and advocates say recent National Disability Insurance Scheme funding cuts left the family under intense strain, while the Autism Association of WA urged anyone struggling to call 9489 8900.
