Gardaí have launched an investigation after the bodies of a man and a woman were discovered at a house in Bray, Co. Dublin, this morning.
Officers were alerted shortly after 8:00 am to the discovery at a residential property on Old Connaught Avenue. The deceased are a man in his 30s and a woman in her 40s. Both were pronounced dead at the scene.
Their bodies have since been taken to the City Morgue at Whitehall, where State Pathologist Dr. Sally Anne Collis will carry out postmortem examinations this evening and tomorrow. Gardaí say the results will help determine the direction of the investigation.
The scene remains preserved this evening for examination by forensic and technical specialists.
The investigation is being handled by the Serious Crime Unit, DMR East. A Senior Investigating Officer is leading the inquiry from an incident room at Dun Laoghaire Garda Station. Family Liaison Officers have been appointed to support the bereaved families.
Gardaí have not said how the two people died or released further details about the circumstances.
