A man and woman, who were known to each other, have been found dead at a property, police have confirmed.

Emergency services were called to an address in Treclago View in Camelford, Cornwall, at about 22:00 BST on Wednesday after reports of concern for the welfare of two people.

A man in his 70s and a woman in her 60s suffered serious injuries and were pronounced dead at the scene.

Detectives from Devon and Cornwall Police have launched an investigation, but confirmed they are not seeking anyone else in connection with the incident.

Their next of kin are being supported by officers, the force added.

Det Insp Peter Gee said: "A cordon remains in place at the address while officers continue with their enquiries and a thorough examination of the scene is conducted."

There will be an increased police presence in the area, and anyone with concerns should speak to officers, Det Insp Gee added.
