Two bodies found dead at Harrogate house

An investigation has been launched following the discovery of two bodies in a house in Harrogate, North Yorkshire.

The bodies of a 27-year-old man and a 23-year-old woman were found after officers forced their way into a house in Slingsby Crescent in the town on Wednesday night.

It is understood that both bodies were found in the bedroom - the woman was on the bed, while the man was found hanged in the same room.

It is understood that the woman lived in the house and that her boyfriend visited frequently.

A neighbour told reporters that police were often seen at the property as the couple often argued.

The woman had reportedly not been seen since Monday when shouting was heard at the house.

The bodies have not yet been formally identified and post-mortem examinations are due to take place on Thursday.

The house has been sealed off and police said that the deaths are being treated as suspicious.
