The pair, named locally as Simon, 50, and Shelley Saxton-Cooper, 45, were found dead in the bedroom of the house(pictured) they had lived in for 25 years on Valley View Road in Riddings, Derbyshire yesterday. Derbyshire Constabulary announced this afternoon that they are treating the death of Mrs Saxton-Cooper as murder because they believe she was wounded before the explosion and subsequent fire.
