Police have launched an investigation after the bodies of a man and a woman were found at a house in Nottingham.

Officers were called to Hallam Road, in Mapperley, at around 6.30am yesterday (Mon) after concerns for the occupants safety were raised by family members.

A man and a woman, who have not yet been identified, were discovered deceased inside the address and could not be saved despite the efforts of medics.

Nottinghamshire Police are now appealing for anyone with information to get in touch but believe it to be an isolated incident and say there is no wider risk to the public.

"An investigation into the circumstances surrounding these two deaths is ongoing."

"However, I’d like to reassure members of the community that we are not looking for anyone else in connection with this incident and do not believe there is any wider risk to the public."

"We would also ask the public to respect the privacy of family members at what is an incredibly difficult time for them. "

"They are being supported by specially trained officers."

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call 101, quoting incident number 93 of 9 October 2023, or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
