Detectives are investigating after the bodies of a man and a woman – both in their 80s - were found in a house in Bucks Hill, Nuneaton.

Police were alerted to the incident at 3.49pm yesterday (15 November). 

Police said the deaths are currently being treated as unexplained and enquiries are underway to establish the cause.

Detective Inspector Carl Buckley from Nuneaton Serious and Complex Crime Team said: “This is a tragic incident and our thoughts are with the family of the couple.

“At this time there are no obvious signs of any suspicious behaviour however we are keeping an open mind. A post mortem is planned and this should help give us a better picture of what happened.

“There will be a high police presence in the area today as we work to piece together what has happened. I’d urge anyone who saw the couple in the last few days or has any information that could help us to get in touch.”
