Neighbours say they frequently heard screaming at a home where a man, believed to be murdered, was found 'slumped in a chair covered in his own blood'.

The 38-year-old man was found at a home on Markwell Avenue, in Surfers Paradise, at about 5.15pm on Friday.

The death is being treated suspicious and police established and guarded a crime scene overnight.

According to The Courier-Mail, the man was found covered in blood which could suggest he was bludgeoned to death.

One neighbour likened the property to a 'house of horrors' saying he had never heard such violence and screaming.

'It's been a house of horrors for months. I've been waiting for something like this to happen,' he told the publication.

Another neighbour said he'd often hear a man, believed to be the deceased, yell during the night and cry in the morning.

'I've worked in rehab and it was like he was coming down off ice,' he said.

'You'd hear screaming and yelling and carrying on so often you'd tune out.'

A young girl and woman were seen living at the home but had been gone for weeks, according to neighbours.

A younger man had since moved in and the neighbours claimed they'd hear arguing with the older man.

CCTV footage of neighbouring buildings is being examined by police.

The body will undergo a post mortem examination, as officers continue to search the property.

Detective Acting Inspector Matt Ward urged anyone with information to contact police.
