Gilmore is alleged to have fired a gun at the intruders, hitting the woman — who was later identified as Charlie Hayter.

The second intruder is then alleged to have shot Gilmore before fleeing the scene.

Emergency services were called and found a man and a woman with gunshot wounds.

They were treated at the scene but could not be saved.

“We are still working on the exact circumstances however it appears that a firearm or firearms have been discharged and a man who lived at that property and the woman that attended that property were seriously injured,” Detective Superintendent Janet Stevenson said on Monday afternoon.

A manhunt is still underway to find the second intruder.

“We are seeking to find out the identity of that man and locate him,” Stevenson said.

“Although I can’t go into specifics, we are actively looking for that man and we are appealing for anyone who may have been in that area of Rye at 4am who may have seen something.”

Police currently do not have a description of the man and are unsure if he is still armed.

“Absolutely it’s concerning for us and we’re throwing all our resources at it at this present time,” Stevenson said.

“So, any information might make that arrest happen a lot quicker and we will be a lot more comforted if that’s the case.”
