Man and woman found dead in Holbeach property – updated

Police are still on the scene this morning after two bodies were found in a property in Holbeach yesterday afternoon.

The bodies were found around 12pm on Thursday, December 21, in a home in Willder’s Garth.

Police this morning confirmed a man and a woman were found and the deaths are still “unexplained”.

Neighbours said police cars, a first response vehicle and two ambulance vehicles were called to one of the properties on a square made up of bungalows designed for the elderly.

One neighbour who wished to remain anonymous said: “It’s very very quiet normally around here. There was a lot of police.

“One of the other neighbours had told us that an older gentleman had passed away so I’m very surprised to hear there’s two bodies been found.”

A statement from Lincolnshire Police said: “Shortly after midday on Thursday 21st December, we received a report that two people had been found deceased at a property in Willder’s Garth in Holbeach.
