RESIDENTS have told of security fears and strange men loitering around the Sydney apartment block where two women have been found murdered in a bedroom.
Police today are interviewing the family who shared the Auburn flat with the young women, who were believed Asian students and aged between their late teens and early 20s.
They were found lying face down in a bedroom of the first floor apartment in the sprawling complex on the corner of Queen St and Harrow Rd about 5.50pm in Sydney's south-west last night.
It is the second horrific crime to hit the Asian community in Sydney recently after the shocking death of a woman who plunged to her death from her Waterloo apartment block after she and her boyfriend were allegedly subjected to a vile sexual attack.

At Auburn today, police so far have not revealed how the women died in the latest murder but have said there were "visible signs of injury".
As detectives seek to formally identify the women, they have brought in interpreters to help with their investigation.
Forensic officers have already spent the night in the unit combing it for murder clues and the immediate area around the apartment remains sealed off as a crime unit.
Residents told The Daily Telegraph Online today that they were alarmed by the lack of security at the complex, complaining that many of the security doors were broken.
Two neighbours of the murdered women, Preeti Rajwani and Neelam Patel, said their deaths underlined their fears about the lack of security.
"It's terrifying. Yesterday we locked all our doors," said Ms Patel, 24, who lives on the ground floor below the murder apartment.
"We are thinking of moving out now ... for sure."
Ms Rajwani, 22, said there were often strangers loitering in the courtyard outside the apartments during the night.
The two victims are understood to have shared the unit with a family - a father, mother, two school-age children and a toddler.
James Kim, who lives in the unit above, said he was home at the time the bodies were discovered but heard no screams or any indication of violent struggle.
Mr Kim described the young women as quiet but friendly.
"They were just quiet, happy-go-lucky kids," Mr Kim said.
"It looked like they were here studying English."
Mr Kim said he was home throughout yesterday but heard nothing until police arrived.
"There were no loud sounds or any incidents or screaming involved at all," he said.
The alarm murder alarm last night was first raised when a person flagged down a passing ambulance in Auburn. The person led paramedics to a unit within the Auburn Central Apartment complex.
Detective Inspector Chris Goddard said police were yet to determine the age of the victims or whether they were related, but confirmed they both lived in the unit.
"There were signs of injury, but a post mortem will be prepared (today) to help us determine the nature and cause of death," he said.
Police had yet to locate a weapon but spent several hours scouring nearby shrubbery.
Investigators will also examine CCTV footage of people entering and leaving the building.
It took forensic officers four hours to arrive and they began examining the crime scene at 10pm.
Interpreters, including those who speak Mandarin, were brought in to help police talk to witnesses and residents of the large complex.
The unit block was cordoned off while police officers canvassed the area and spoke to residents.
About 100 residents gathered inside the complex, with many arriving home from work to find that they were barred from getting into their apartments.
Vikas Shah, 21, said: "I heard on the news that something had happened inside one of the units here so I came outside to find out.
"It's terrifying - I can't believe that something like this could happen here."
James Maana, 20, moved to the apartment block just one week ago.
"I came outside my apartment for a walk to find all these people and police here. It's scary something like this has happened here," he said.
Garry Zhang, 17, arrived at the apartment block about 8pm to find that he could not get past.
"My little sister is at home alone and I can't get inside," he said.
He said there had been a number of fights at the apartment block in recent weeks.
