Three people have been found dead at a home in Buckinghamshire in what police believe to be a “targeted attack”.
A murder investigation has been launched after the bodies of a man and woman in their 60s and another man in his 50s were discovered in Spring Gardens, Bourne End on Tuesday evening. All three victims were understood to be known to each other.
Officers from Thames Valley Police were called to reports of a disturbance at the property shortly before 9.55pm. A spokesman said the evidence suggested a “serious assault” had occurred. Police are not looking for anyone else in connection with the killings.
Senior investigating officer DS Kevin Brown, of the major crime unit, said: “The next of kin have been informed and are being supported by specially trained officers, our thoughts remain with them at this most difficult time.
“We are in the very early stages of this investigation and we are dealing with a very complex inquiry, which appears a targeted attack. We are not looking for anyone else in connection with it.
“We would ask anyone who may have heard a disturbance or who may have seen anyone or anything unusual in or around Orchard House or Spring Gardens between 5pm and 10pm yesterday to please come forward and call 101, quoting reference 2037 of 19/4/2022.”
He added that a crime scene would remain in place for a number of days and that the public would see an increased police presence in the area.
