Residents have spoken of their "devastation" and shock at the tragedy of two bodies being found at a house in a Nottinghamshire town.

Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the discovery of the man and the woman at the property in Porchester Road, Bingham. A neighbour understood that a couple lived there.

Officers were called to the scene just before 3.40pm on Wednesday, November 13.

Emergency services remained at the house on Wednesday night, with inquiries said to be at an early stage.

A crime scene investigation van was also at the address.

No arrests have been made.

Alex Harris, a 33-year-old mum, who lives in the town, added: This has really shocked me so much.

"Seeing it all taped off, you dont expect it where you live. Then when you see it, it hits home. The air ambulance landed nearby to go and help, I believe. Its just so sad.

Mark Gates, 55, of Bingham, who was walking his dog past the cordon, said: Incredibly sad news. It's awful seeing the police there and the house taped off. Thats a familys life changed forever.

Tom Anderson, 39, of Bingham, said: I had to double take when I heard what had happened. Its truly heartbreaking to hear. I cant believe it. I'm sure more details will come out as to what happened but its so sad.

Theres a big police presence and itll be a big investigation, no doubt. But I think everyone will be so shocked and upset by this.

Francis Purdue-Horan, Conservative councillor for Bingham West, told Nottinghamshire Live: "I passed the scene at around 4pm when on my way into West Bridgford for a meeting. I saw all the police tape and officers and thought it was very serious.

"It's a shock and is very sad. Whatever tragedy has happened, we are all shocked at seeing those events.

"To see something like this in Bingham, which is still a small community in the scheme of things, is very shocking. But ultimately it's the family that are going to have to grieve and come to terms with such a tragedy."

A woman who lives near to the police cordon said the news was devastating.

She told Nottinghamshire Live: It is very shocking to see so many police here. We dont have a police station in Bingham, so to see that many police and tape all up was really devastating.

We dont know the family. But it is so sad. It was shocking and haunting to come home to that news."
