Mrs Kemp worked as an information systems administrator at Fred Olsen Cruise Lines in Ipswich, Suffolk.

Mr Kemp had worked since 2011 as a course administrator for nursing courses at the University of Suffolk's School of Health Sciences.

He was also studying for a post graduate degree in Business and Management at the main campus of the University of Suffolk in Ipswich, a short distance from his home.

Paramedics and police battled to save Mr Kemp on the street outside his home, but he was declared dead at the scene.

Shocked residents saw heavily blood-stained net curtains hanging out of the open window which he had apparently fallen from.

An East Anglian Air Ambulance helicopter landed nearby, and the crew were seen helping with the resuscitation attempts on Mr Kemp.

A Suffolk Police spokesman said: 'Detectives do not believe that there is anyone else involved with this incident and the investigation into the deaths continues.

'Although there is no threat to the wider community following the incident, increased police patrols will continue to take place in the area to offer reassurance to local residents.'

It was also confirmed on Monday that police had been called to previous incidents at the flat.

As a result the case has been referred to the Independent Office for Police Conduct, which is said to be 'standard procedure'.

The deaths happened at the same block where an 18-year-old boy was shot in the shoulder in a suspected drugs feud in November, 2016.

A near neighbour of the couple who asked not to be named said: 'I was smoking on my balcony and everything was normal.

'Then I went to the bathroom and came back five minutes later to see this man lying on the ground. He looked like he was dead.

'There was a woman in the street shouting his name.

'She was in panic and was screaming and crying. It looked like she knew him. I called the police and they were here quickly with an ambulance.

'They were trying to help him, but they could not do anything. It is just shocking to have this happen here.

'The curtains were covered in blood and were hanging out of a window.'

Another local resident said: 'I watched him die. It was just horrible. I have given a statement to the police and they have told me not to say anything.

'Ipswich has become a really bad place in the last few months. There have been so many stabbings.'

The rented flat where the couple lived is in a modern development of low-rise blocks in a redeveloped area near the docks in Ipswich

White-suited forensic officers were seen going into the block in a search for clues on Monday.

Superintendent Kerry Cutler, policing commander for Ipswich, said: 'This would appear to be a tragic incident involving two people known to each other and we are not looking for anyone else in connection with the incident at this time.

'As such there is no threat to the wider community, but I would appeal to anyone with any information about these deaths to make contact with our officers.'

A student nurse who lives nearby said: 'I became aware something was happening at around 9am.

'I watched paramedics using an automated CPR machine on the man for at least 20 minutes. They had already been working on him for a while.

'It looked like he had laceration wounds on his arm and thigh.

'They couldn't do anything for him and a little while later his body was covered up.'

Suffolk Police still want to hear from anyone who was in the area of Siloam Place between 7am and 9am on Monday and who may have seen, or heard, anything that could assist the inquiry.

Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact south CID at Landmark House on 101 quoting reference 44421/18.
