THE families of a couple found dead in Warndon Villages had not heard from them since Sunday.

Police revealed they went to the home in Debdale Avenue, Worcester, on Tuesday, after the families of the man and woman raised the alarm.

The bodies were discovered at 5pm.

The couple are believed to be a 21-year-old man and a 29-year-old woman, both from Poland, although formal identification has yet to be made.

Police are investigating the woman's death as murder but believe the death of the man is not suspicious.

They have said they are not looking for anyone else.

Officers confirmed that no previous reports of domestic violence involving the dead couple had been received.

Detective Chief Inspector Neil Austin said: "Police initially received a report from the families of the man and woman on Tuesday who were concerned that they had not heard from either of them since Sunday evening.

"After taking details from the families officers obtained the key to the property and entered at 5pm. The bodies of the deceased were then discovered.

"We are awaiting formal identification of both of the deceased. At this time we believe they are a 21-year-old man and a 29-year-old woman, both of whom were originally from Poland.

"This is an extremely difficult time for both families and specially trained officers continue to provide them with support and keep them updated on the progress of the investigation.

"We have carried out extensive house-to-house enquiries in the area and these will continue as we attempt to establish the circumstances that led up to this incident.

"As a result of our enquiries we continue to believe that this incident was contained to the property and we are not looking for anyone else. The death of the woman is being treated as suspicious and investigated as a murder and the death of the man is being treated as non-suspicious.

"I can confirm that there was no previous reports of domestic violence involving the deceased made to either the police or other support agencies the police work with.

"We continue to appeal for anyone with information that may help with our enquiries to contact us.

"A file is currently being prepared to be passed to the coroner."
