Woman arrested after bodies found

A woman has been arrested on suspicion of murder after the bodies of two elderly people were found in a bungalow where it is believed they all lived.

The 52-year-old was found inside the detached home suffering from serious injuries.

She is currently being treated for her injuries in hospital where she is under police escort.

A murder investigation was launched on Friday when police found the couple, a woman in her seventies and a man in his eighties, in the bungalow at Uplands Road, in the Charminster area of Bournemouth.

The police have not yet named anyone involved in the incident, and formal identification has yet to take place.

No details of how the couple died have yet been released by the police.

Officers went to the premises following calls from concerned friends and neighbours.

A Dorset police spokesman said detectives were not looking for anyone else in connection with the incident.

Post-mortem examinations are to be carried out by a Home office pathologist at Dorset County Hospital.

Detectives said they would like to hear from anyone who had any information about the incident or about the circumstances surrounding the incident.
