An inquest has been opened into the deaths of a man and a woman who were found near a coastal path in Ceredigion.

The bodies of Amanda Jayne Mousley, 47, from New Quay, and Emyr Jacob Davies, 49, from Llanarth, Ceredigion, were found near the New Quay coastal path on Wednesday.

Police previously said the deaths were being treated as "unexplained".

The inquest has been adjourned until a later date.
