Police were again seen at the home where the bodies of an elderly couple were discovered last month.

Officers were called to the house on Saturday morning, January 25, after neighbours were concerned that they had not seen the elderly occupants.

Officers had to break into the house in Main Street, Redding, where they made the tragic discover of the bodies of an 84-year-old man and an 82-year-old woman.

The married couple had lived in the house for a considerable time and were well known to others in the community.
