  • A 55-year-old woman from Birmingham was arrested on suspicion of murder about an hour after the discovery and has since been released on bail while enquiries continue.
  • Warwickshire Police have launched a formal murder investigation and have repeatedly told the public there is no wider risk from the incident.
  • The killing occurred in Claverdon, a small village near Henley-in-Arden, and neighbours reported shock at violent deaths in the normally quiet community.
