Brunswick, Georgia.  Answering a 911 call, police found seven people dead and two more critically injured in a trailer park in Brunswick, Georgia.

There are no details available on the murders or the circumstances at this time.  Brunswick is approximately 80 miles south of Savannah, Georgia.

Two people were taken to hospital for treatment and seven others were pronounced dead by the county coroner.

The law agencies are working to identify the seven dead.  Autopsies are expected to be performed today.  The mobile home is part of the New Hope plantation.  According to an eye witness the murdered were part of a large family.

This is the third murder investigation in two weeks in that area.  Police would not reveal any suspects, but are asking the public for help.

Seven people have been found dead and two critically injured after a homicide in a trailer park in the south-eastern US state of Georgia, local police said.

But there were no immediate details on how the seven people died, or the chain of events in the trailer park in Brunswick, Georgia, about 113 kilometres south of Savannah.

The two wounded people were taken to a local hospital for treatment and the county coroner pronounced the seven others dead at 10:30am (12:30am AEST), said Lieutenant David O'Neal of the department.

Oh,  awful. This must have something to do with a drug deal gone bad,  or something.

SMK: This is a frightening story. I knew a woman back in New York whose family was murdered in the back of their restaurant by a guy that lived up the block. You may recall the incident. I lived a few blocks away from the murder scene. This story reminds me of that incident.

The interesting fact is, that this is the third murder investigation in two weeks.  Something strange is going on there.

Yes,  there must be some connection between all of them.  Very strange.

I live right down the street from there, and the other murders didn't happen close to that trailer park or that area.  I don't really think they had anything to do with each other.  The other murders were single person murders, drug deals or something to that effect.  This was a family.  Children included where killed.  It's very horrible to have this kind of thing happen so close to home.  It scares me for my daughter.

the son, guy heinz jr., was charged with murder and attempted murder last friday. the only survivor is in critical condition, a small child.         hard to believe one person beat 8 people to death in a single wide trailer and nobody woke up to fight back.
