Police do not currently suspect the involvement of others in the "sudden deaths" of a Gawsworth couple found in their home last week.

Officers were called to the address in Congleton Road, Gawsworth at 10.17am on Friday 12 March following concern for the welfare of the occupants.

A police spokesperson said: "On arrival, officers sadly discovered the bodies of Norman Waller, 83, and Margaret Waller, 81.

"Enquiries, including a Home Office Post Mortem, suggest no other people were involved in the incident. Formal ID has taken place and the family are being supported by specialist officers."

Paying tribute to the couple, their family said: "Our hearts are broken with the loss of our Dad and Mum. They will be missed by us, their many cherished siblings and their friends forever. Carole, Angela, Martin and Allan."

Police say a file will be prepared for the coroner on the conclusion of the investigation.
