A mother of five has died in what appears to be a murder-suicide in Victoria while four other people, including two of the woman's teenage sons, were at home.

Rebecca Young, 42, was found dead with knife wounds at the property on the outskirts of Ballarat, west of Melbourne, about 9pm on Friday night, along with her partner Ian Butler, who has links to the Bandidos motorcycle gang.

A neighbor told reporters outside the Sebastopol estate that Ms Young's distraught parents had arrived late on Friday evening and could be heard saying: “I told you to leave him.”

It is believed emergency services were called by others to the Morgan St property. Butler, 55, allegedly murdered Ms Young and then killed herself.

Police have said they are not looking for anyone else in connection with the deaths.
