Murder investigation launched following death of man and woman

We’ve launched a murder investigation after two bodies were discovered inside a house in Cannock.

At about 12.30pm today (Tuesday 25 June), we were alerted by our colleagues at West Midlands Ambulance Service who were at an address on Alpine Drive in Hednesford.

Sadly, the bodies of a man and a woman were found inside.

Specially-trained officers have been assigned to support their families at this tragic time.

A cordon has been set up in the area whilst we carry out enquiries to understand the circumstances of the deaths. We’d like to ask people not to speculate whilst we do this.

We’ve created an online portal where people can leave information they may have. You can access the Major Incident Public Portal, here: Public Portal (mipp.police.uk)
