A MAN and a woman “known to each other” have died after being discovered with serious injuries at a property.
Police and emergency services scrambled to the scene on Holstein Way in Thamesmead, London, just before 3pm on Tuesday.
Cops said they were called after “concerns for the welfare” of the occupants at the address in Abbey Wood.
Emergency services who attended entered the property, where they found the pair with “serious injuries”.
They were both sadly declared dead at the scene, said the Met Police.
Chief Superintendent Trevor Lawry, who leads policing in Bexley, described the deaths as “unexpected and unexplained”.
The force said that the pair were believed to be known to each other and a crime scene remains in place.
Ch Sup Lawry said: “I know many residents in the local area will be questioning why police are carrying out inquiries within Holstein Way.
“We are currently investigating the death of two people which was unexpected and unexplained.
“At this early stage, we are working with officers and local authorities to establish the circumstances surrounding the deaths.
“We believe that the two were known to each other, and at this time we are not seeking to speak with anyone else in connection with this.
“A crime scene will remain in place until we have conducted our inquiries.
“Thank you to those in the local area for their patience.”
