Police are investigating the discovery of three bodies at a north Regina home late Friday afternoon.

Police would not release the identities, ages or genders of the victims found in the low-income housing unit in the Uplands area, pending notification of next of kin.

But neighbours on Oakview Drive said a husband and wife and their three-year-old son lived in the home.

"They pretty much kept to themselves. I know the little guy wasn't outside very often," said Dennis Beer.

A property manager made the discovery after neighbours expressed concerns about the family.

"I think that they had a sense that there was something wrong and there was also a concern about odour emanating from the dwelling, and so the property manager entered and immediately called police after that," said Regina police spokeswoman Elizabeth Popowich.

Popowich said the deaths are being treated as suspicious.

"I think that we can say that it's apparent that the deceased have been here for some time," Popowich said.
