Police have launched a murder investigation after the bodies of a woman and man were found at a shooting school in North Lincolnshire.

Emergency services were called to an address on College Road near Thornton Curtis on Friday afternoon after safety concerns had been raised.

A man and a woman were pronounced dead at the scene at White Lodge Shooting School, a twenty-minute drive from Grimsby.

Humberside Police said they were not looking for anyone else in relation to the incident.

There was a large police presence in the vicinity on Friday, including several police vehicles and a large tent, according to reports by local newspaper Grimsby Live.

Senior investigating officer Chief Inspector Al Curtis said: "Inquiries are in the very early stages to establish the circumstances of the man and woman's death.

"A homicide investigation has commenced, and both deaths are being treated as suspicious at this time until we establish the facts.

"We can confirm we are not looking for any else in relation to this inquiry.

"A scene guard will be in place while we carry out our investigation, and residents will likely observe an increased policing presence in the area as we carry out all lines of inquiry."
