Both the deaths of the man and the woman are not being treated as suspicious but ‘unexplained’, said the police, as they issued an appeal for information from the public.

Detective Inspector Lee Womack said: “We would like to appeal to anyone who was driving in the area on 10 July and may have dashcam footage of a silver Vauxhall Astra or the man and woman.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact the police quoting incident 116 of July 13.
