The Winnipeg police homicide unit is investigating after two adults were found dead in aCharleswood home Monday night.

Police wentto the house on Buckingham Road, between EldridgeAvenue and RoblinBoulevard, at 9 p.m. Someone had called police, concerned about people who live in the home.

Members of the homicide unit remained at the house Tuesday morning and the bodies were moved from the home into a police van at about 8 a.m.

Investigators did not provide any more details but said the death is considered suspicious.

Six neighboursgathered outside told CBC News police previously were at the home for another incident in 2009. All of the neighbours declined to provide their names.

The husband and wife who live in the home are in their early 50s, neighbours said, and he was often seen jogging in the area.

Neighbours said the husband was seen working in the yard Monday afternoon andother people were seen in the driveway in the evening not long before police arrived.

Animal protection officerscarried at least a dozenkennelsfrom the home.

Sherri Vokey said a woman who lived in the house was a "well-known" breeder of a rarekind of cat.

Vokey saidshe went to the Charleswood home in 2017 to buy a kitten from the woman.

"When I went to pick up my kitten there were lots of cats climbing around on cat climbers and cat trees, so it was evident there was a lot of cats in the house," she said.

"I could hear them meowing in another room, so there were even more cats that I couldn't see at the time."

The investigation continues.

The family has requested privacy at this time.
