Fearnville Close: Woman's death in Leeds house 'suspicious' - police

Neither of the bodies has been formally identified, police say

The death of a woman whose body was discovered in a Leeds house alongside the body of a dead man is being treated as "suspicious", say police.

The bodies of a woman, 63, and a man, 61, were found at a property at Fearnville Close, Oakwood, at around 13:50 BST on Thursday 25 April.

A West Yorkshire Police spokesperson said the deaths appear to be the result of a "domestic-related incident".

Police say no one else is being sought in connection with the incident.

Officers entered the property after reports of concern for the safety of those inside, where they found the bodies of two adults - a man and a woman.

The bodies have yet to be formally identified.

"We have extensive enquiries ongoing to understand the circumstances of what has taken place," said Det Ch Insp Stacey Atkinson, of West Yorkshire Police's Homicide and Major Enquiry Team.

She said specially-trained officers were supporting family members "as they try to come to terms with this extremely tragic incident".

"I would ask, for their sakes, for people to please avoid posting any potentially upsetting speculation about what has happened, and those involved, on social media."

She added: "If anyone does have any information that could assist our ongoing investigation, I would ask them to please pass it on to my team."
