Senior Investigating Officer, Detective Chief Inspector Joe Banfield, said: “Following this tragic discovery, we are working at pace to establish what has happened and are asking anyone who believes they may be able to help us to get in touch as soon as possible.”

“I know many people will be concerned about this incident, and I would like to offer our reassurance that we have a large number of officers dedicated to our investigation.”

Post mortems are due to be carried out over the weekend.

Northamptonshire Police has asked people to contact them on 101 with more information quoting incident reference 21000498738.
