THE bodies of a man and woman have been found in a home in Warndon Villages, Worcester.

Police were called to Debdale Avenue after they received a call raising concerns for the welfare of a woman in the house.

Officers found the bodies of a man and woman, believed to be in their 20s, and the investigation is being described as in the "early stages".

They believe the incident was contained to the house and are not looking for anyone else.

The death of the woman is being treated as suspicious while the death of the man is being treated as non-suspicious.

More details will be available once formal identification has taken place.

Police were unable to provide an update at 7.30am this morning but said more information would be issued later today.

Superintendent Kevin Purcell said: "We are providing support to the families at this time and we are looking into the circumstances leading up to the deaths."

He urged anyone with information to contact police on 101 quoting reference number 416 of the 6th October.

Meanwhile messages of condolence have flooded in on the Worcester News' Facebook page from members of the community.

Emma Jones-Jolliffe wrote "rest in peace to the young lady and bloke" while Kim Bishopp posted "I've just realised it's very close to where I live. How awful. Poor couple".

Margaret Morris added "how sad that two young lives have been lost" and Shelley Smith said "very sad, my heart goes out to both families".

One Facebook user uploaded an even more emotional message.

Louise May wrote: "RIP to this young couple. May the angels be watching over their families at such a tragic time. My thoughts and prayers go out to the families who are grieving."
