Homicide Squad detectives investigate Wodonga woman's death

A 21-year-old Wodonga woman was taken into custody and is assisting police with their inquiries.

One neighbour told The Border Mail he didn't know what happened.

"I didn't hear anything and then came outside to put the bins out and saw the police tape," he said.

"I've been here for a year and they've been here for most of that time."

He said 10 people or more lived in the four-bedroom house.

"They would sit on the chair outside the house every day," he said.

Two police cars were parked by the Peeler Street house throughout Sunday morning.

Another neighbour said he would often see the group outside, with multiple children "riding skateboards and just being kids".

A skateboard and damaged chair were among the items at the scene.

The Border Mail understands there was some sort of incident on the street in the lead-up to the woman's death.

The body was located in the backyard.

The Homicide Squad was in Wodonga on Saturday night investigating.
