Police examine footage of man on roof after two bodies found in Sydney shop
A western Sydney community was left horrified and heartbroken on Saturday after the bodies of two people who ran a local burger shop for more than 20 years were discovered in what police described as a confronting scene.
A family member of the couple raised the alarm about 9.40am on Saturday morning and police arrived to find the bodies of a man and woman with significant injuries in Buzzy Bee’s Burger House, on Oxford Street in Cambridge Park.
The deceased pair were married couple Hoa Tek Chien, 69, and Heang Kim Gau, 68, Nine News reported.
Police, ambulances and helicopters swamped the area surrounding the strip of shops on Saturday morning as locals – some of them decades-long customers of Buzzy Bee’s – watched detectives and forensic police enter the store.
Neighbour Ty Ballerum said he was stunned when he saw police outside the burger house after buying dinner from the couple the night before.
“We had our chat, waited for my food and said ‘see you tomorrow’,” Ballerum said. “Nine times out of 10 I’d go to Buzzy Bee’s and bump into someone … honestly, they’ve been there so long that it’s going to be weird with them gone now.”

Heartbroken locals came to grips with the news on social media, recalling that the couple knew their regular customers’ names by heart. Some watched the couple’s “inconsolably crying” sons speak to police outside their family-run store on Saturday morning.
Recently, Hoa Tek Chiem had said he was planning to retire, a local woman told Nine News.
