A man has made a first crown court appearance charged with murdering a father and son found shot dead.

Josh Dunmore, 32, was found in Bluntisham, Cambridgeshire, at about 21:00 BST on Wednesday and Gary Dunmore, 57, was found in Sutton about 40 minutes later.

Stephen Alderton, 66, of no fixed address, is charged with two counts of murder and possession of a firearm.

He spoke only to confirm his name at a hearing at Cambridge Crown Court.

The case was adjourned until the next hearing on 11 May.

Post-mortem examinations confirmed both men died from gunshot wounds, Cambridgeshire Police said.
