Police remain at the home of a married couple who died from gunshot wounds last week.
Forensics officers returned to the Southport property on Monday morning, five days after the bodies of the pensioners were discovered.
Both were killed by a shotgun and Merseyside Police has launched a murder inquiry, though the force has made clear no-one is being sought in connection with the double shooting.

Inquiries into the incident remain ongoing with officers maintaining a presence at the scene, a home on Dinorwic Road in the Birkdale area of the town, on Monday.
Two scientific support vehicles further highlighted the continuing police activity.
Officers were called to the address at 9.40am on Wednesday following the discovery of the man and woman, who were both in their 70s.
Both were pronounced dead at the scene.
A Home Office post mortem, which took place on Friday, confirmed the woman died from a shotgun wound to the chest and the man died from a shotgun wound to the head.
Their next of kin have been made aware and are being supported by officers.
Merseyside Police has highlighted domestic violence support networks in relation to the incident.
Speaking last week, Detective Superintendent Dave McCaughrean said: “The investigation is in the early stages. We have spoken to neighbours and carried out a number of enquiries and are satisfied we are not looking for anyone else in connection with the incident.
“Protecting our most vulnerable communities is one of the force’s priorities and we realise that being able to support and advise victims of domestic abuse has never been more important that it is now.
“We are committed to working with our communities and partners to tackle violence against women and girls and will continue to work closely with our local communities and partners to assess how we can work together going forward.
“There is support available to anyone who is or has experienced domestic abuse or has been affected by it in order that nobody else has to suffer or silence.
“For anyone who is in a controlling relationship with an abusive partner but financially tied through a mortgage or tenancy, there are confidential support services available to help you and their children.
“If home is not a safe place for you then we want you to know that you are not alone and you do not have to stay at home if it is not safe to be there."
*Anyone in immediate danger can call 999 and, if not in a safe position to speak, can cough, tap or press 55 when prompted. This will alert the operator that you need assistance.
Anyone with non-urgent information on domestic abuse - for instance, if you are a victim or believe someone you know is a victim - can contact police via Twitter (@MerPolCC), Facebook (Merseyside Police Contact Centre) or contact Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
