"That is all I can say at this stage."

The body was removed from the house on Sunday and taken to Palmerston North for the post-mortem examination.

The woman's body had been at the house where it was found for some time, and the house had been vacant for some time.

Detectives from Gisborne and ESR staff carried out a scene examination at the property yesterday.

The property is situated about 4km south of Ruatoria at what's known as Ngarimu's Hill.

A security firm has maintained a scene guard at the property's taped-off front gate.
