Just before 11.10am police were called to Belvoir Avenue in Levenshulme, Manchester, following reports of concern for the welfare for the occupants.

Officers went to the scene where they discovered the bodies.

A 36-year-old woman and a 16-year-old boy were arrested nearby on suspicion of murder soon afterwards.

They are being questioned in custody by detectives. A spokeswoman for Greater Manchester Police said the investigation was at a very early stage and no further information was available.

The third person, a 42-year-old man, was arrested later on suspicion of murder, Greater Manchester Police added.

A spokeswoman said: "Detectives are treating the murders as domestic related and are not looking for anyone else in connection with the inquiry.

"Officers would like to reassure the community that there will be high-visibility police patrols in the area."

Police have yet to identify the victims because next of kin have yet to be traced.
