    Invercargill Police are still investigating a house explosion last Wednesday that left two people seriously injured


    The explosion left a Rothesay Place house in flames.

    A 28-year-old man and a 27-year-old woman have since been released from hospital after treatment for burns.

    Police say they will speak to them soon about about the explosion.

    Police say they cannot rule out criminal charges - but won't comment further until the investigation is completed.
