Homicide squad probes senior couple's mysterious deaths

In a quiet suburban neighbourhood, a community is reeling after the shocking discovery of a deceased couple in their home.

The incident has prompted a full-scale investigation, raising questions about safety and security among residents, particularly seniors.


The victims—identified as Mark Stillman, 64, and Lesley Stillman, 67—were found in their Perth, WA residence in Carramar around 10:40 am on a seemingly peaceful Sunday.

The welfare check that led to the grim find was routine, but what the officers uncovered was anything but.

The Stillmans were married with four kids but separated several years prior.

Despite the separation, they continued to share the home where their lives came to an untimely end.

The circumstances of their deaths are still shrouded in mystery, with one body reportedly found in the garage.

As detectives and forensic officers combed through the scene on Monday, neighbours watched with concern.

The police have since made efforts to reassure the public, stating that there are no broader safety concerns for the community.


Lesley Stillman was a dedicated volunteer for Guide Dogs WA and aged care provider Amana Living.

Her recent social media posts depicted an adventure-filled life, including a holiday trip to Cambodia and Thailand.

The contrast between her vibrant life and the silence of the crime scene is disheartening.

The police are calling on anyone with information, CCTV or dashcam footage to come forward and contact Crime Stoppers online or call their hotline at 1800-333-000.

The community's input could be crucial in piecing together the events that led to the deaths of the Stillmans.

This incident is a stark reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of community vigilance.

It's a call to action for neighbours to look out for one another, to be aware of any unusual activities, and to keep in touch with those who may be vulnerable.


We encourage readers to review their home security measures and to maintain open communication lines with family, friends, and neighbours.

It's also a moment to reflect on the value of community support networks.

Jeez I'm 61 and I don't consider myself elderly. 64 and 67 Elderly???
Sad story. Hope they find out what happened
I'm 62 and didn't see anywhere in the article where they were described as elderly.
How can we be vigilant when we do not know what to be looking out for? Were they murdered? Suicide? What ?
