“We’d like to reassure our community that we are not seeking anyone else in relation to this incident,” Detective Senior Sergeant Nik Leigh said on Friday.
“We know that this tragic event has shaken the community and Police and Victim Support will be working closely to offer support for all involved.”
There would be an increased police presence in the area while the investigation continued.
