Mother and two children found dead in Bedfordshire murder probe
Police found the bodies of a woman and two children on Carnoustie Drive after a welfare concern, and say a suspect known to the family has left the country.
Police found the bodies of a woman and two children at a property on Carnoustie Drive in Great Denham, near Bedford, after concerns they had not been seen for several days. Officers from Bedfordshire Police carried out enquiries before forcing entry into the home.
The case is now being treated as a murder investigation led by the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Major Crime Unit. Assistant Chief Constable John Murphy said police believe the mother and her two children were murdered, describing the case as an “incredibly complex investigation.”
Detectives have identified a suspect known to all three victims and believe that person has since left the country. There is nothing to suggest any wider risk to the public, but police have increased the police presence in Great Denham and deployed specialist teams to support the inquiry and reassure residents.
Murphy asked anyone with information to come forward, with particular attention to suspicious activity on Carnoustie Drive on Friday and Saturday. He also urged the public to respect the victims’ privacy and avoid speculation. Bedfordshire Police are asking anyone who can help to contact them via webchat or by calling 101 and quoting Operation Snowdrift. Neighbourhood patrols will continue while detectives pursue enquiries across the area and beyond.
