Murder investigation launched after man and woman found dead

A murder investigation has been launched after two people were found dead at a property in North Lincolnshire.

They were discovered on Friday afternoon.

The male and female were found at College Road in Thornton Curtis.

Police stated they are treating the deaths as suspicious and there is an increased police presence in the area.

Senior Investigating Officer Chief Inspector Al Curtis, from our Major Crime Team said: “Inquiries are in the very early stages to establish the circumstances of the man and woman’s death. A homicide investigation has commenced, and both deaths are being treated as suspicious at this time until we establish the facts. We can confirm we are not looking for any else in relation to this inquiry.

“A scene guard will be in place while we carry out our investigation, and residents will likely observe an increased policing presence in the area as we carry out all lines of inquiry. Specially trained officers have notified the next of kin of both victims and are being supported throughout this incredibly difficult time.

“We would like to reassure local residents there is no risk to the wider public and that we will be conducting house to house visits to provide reassurance. If anyone has any concerns, please speak to our officers."
