Detectives are investigating after the bodies of two women were found in a Nottingham home – with their remains thought to have lain undiscovered for some time.
Police were called to the end-of-terrace house in the Radford area of the city at 11.04am on Tuesday after concerns were raised for the welfare of the occupants. After officers gained entry they found the bodies inside the home on Hartley Road.
The women are thought to have been dead for some time and officers are keeping “open mind” about the circumstances surrounding their deaths.
Detective Chief Inspector Ruby Burrow said: “Whilst we don’t believe there to be an immediate risk to the public, we are keeping an open mind into what has happened at this address and will be working hard over the next few days to establish how and when these two women lost their lives.
“In the meantime my thoughts – and those of every other officer involved in this investigation – are with those who have died, their family and friends.”
Police are said to have been at the property since the grim discovery on Tuesday.
The worker in Food Basket African Butchers & Grocers, said he first saw a police officer on the street at about noon on Tuesday then saw a police vehicle later in the afternoon.
He said: “We saw a police car yesterday and this morning, I thought it was normal, routine. It is surprising, it’s quite shocking.”
Neighbours told Nottinghamshire Live that a mother and daughter were thought to have been living at the property, which is on a busy residential road. The pair had not been seen for some weeks, according to reports.
