A mother and son who died after a car was found submerged in a pond near Wittering on Saturday (3/8) have been named by police.

Vivien Radocz, 28, and Milan Radocz, 8, both of Churchill Road, Stamford, were found in a blue Ford Focus which was spotted in the water next to Old Oundle Road, to the rear of RAF Wittering.

Milan was taken to hospital for treatment, but later died, while Vivien died at the scene.

It is unclear how long the vehicle had been in the water.
