Emergency services were called to Sherborne Place in Cheltenham, with a report of a serious assault, at 6.25am. Officers arrived to find a man with stab wounds and he was declared dead at the scene.

Following concerns for the welfare of a second person, officers visited a property in Whiteshoots Hill in Bourton-on-the-Water.

They discovered the body of a woman, who had also suffered stab wounds.

A man from Cheltenham has been arrested on suspicion of murder in connection with both deaths, which are being linked by detectives. The suspect was arrested near the scene in Cheltenham.

A Gloucestershire Constabulary spokesperson said: “Officers are not currently looking for anyone else in connection with the ongoing investigation.

“The thoughts of Gloucestershire Constabulary are with their family at this difficult time.”
