Braintree: Deaths of couple in their 70s 'not suspicious'

Police investigating the deaths of a couple in their 70s said they did not believe anyone else was involved.

Emergency services were called to Fisher Way in Braintree, Essex, at about 15:40 BST on Tuesday.

The couple, named locally as Eva and David Murr, were discovered at a property.

Essex Police said following inquiries it was not treating the deaths as suspicious and it did not believe "anyone else was involved".

A 62-year-old neighbour, who did not want to be named, said he had known the couple for 20 years.

"They were a very nice couple, he would come out and bring the bins out for us, and he'd always stop and have a chat," he said.

"It's quite a shock," he said.

Essex Police said a file was being prepared for the coroner.
