Dual death mystery continues

By NOEL MURPHY

POLICE are remaining tight-lipped about the mysterious violent deaths of two men at Whittington almost three weeks ago.
The bloodied bodies of Dylan Kitt, 30, and his male housemate, 23, were found in a back bedroom of the Thatcher Crt home by Mr Kitt’s mother, who also lived in the house.
Police suspected an axe or tomahawk of causing their injuries but were unable to located a weapon. Police were reported to have ruled out the involvement of a third party.
Geelong CIU is preparing a report for the Coroner but releasing no details about the incident, which police at the scene described as “horrendous”.
Mr Kitt has since had a funeral and a private cremation.
Police said the second man’s funeral had yet to be held.
“We’re not releasing anything at this stage,” Detective Leading Senior Constable Naomi Bourke told the Independent yesterday.
“No preliminary reports have been finished but we’re satisfied there was not a third person involved.
“This investigation is still very early and the matter is still very raw for the family, it’s a hard one.
“We’ll be preparing a report for the coroner but we’re not commenting further on this one for the family’s sake.”
The gruesome deaths shocked neighbours.
Police have been widely reported as struggling to find any witnesses or anyone with information about the deaths.
Obituary notices for Mr Kitt described him as a “loved and loving” son, brother and uncle, and a treasured grandson.
“Your memory is our greatest treasure, to have and to hold in our hearts forever,” one notice said.
