Specialist detectives are investigating the deaths of two people found inside an address in Colchester.

Emergency services were called to an address in Mersea Road shortly after 9.30am on Tuesday (30 May).

Inside they found a woman, who had sustained injuries, and the body of a man.

Sadly, they were both pronounced dead at the scene.

We are in a position to identify them as 41 year-old Kelly Greer and 34 year-old Jonathan Parsons, who are both from Colchester.

Specialist detectives and staff from the Kent and Essex Serious Crime Directorate are investigating and their enquiries are ongoing.

Detective Inspector James Holmes, who is leading the investigation, said: “My thoughts, and those of my team, are with the families and we are working hard to provide them with answers.

“We are making good progress with our investigation and are building a picture of the circumstances which led up to Kelly and Jonathan’s deaths.

“At this stage we do not believe anyone else was involved in the incident and we are not looking for anyone else in connection with it.

“However, we do still need the help of the public and I would urge anyone who has any information about the movements of Kelly and Jonathan, or if they saw or heard anything suspicious, in the days leading up to Tuesday to contact us.”

If you have any information, CCTV, dash cam or other footage in relation to this incident, then please get in contact with us.
