A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after two people were found dead at a house in Huddersfield.
West Yorkshire Police said officers were called to an address in Harpe Inge at 9.53am on Monday after paramedics found a man and woman with multiple injuries.
They were confirmed to have died at the scene.
The man, from Huddersfield and in his 30s, was held on suspicion of murdering both people and is in custody for questioning, police said.
Several active enquiries by the West Yorkshire Police’s homicide and major enquiry team remain ongoing.
