A MAN and a woman in their 70s have been found dead at a home – with cops arresting a man on suspicion of murder.

Cops rushed to the Sheffield home just after 10am – finding the pair fatally injured.

A 51-year-old man has since been arrested on suspicion of murder after being arrested at the scene on Terrey Road in Dore.

Police had been called to the home after a report of concern for welfare.

Emergency services found the man and woman, both in their 70s, critically injured.

They were then pronounced dead at the scene.

Chief Superintendent Shelley Hemsley, from Sheffield district, said: “This incident will have no doubt caused a lot of concern within the community and our thoughts remain with the families of the pair who have sadly lost their lives this morning.

“We have a number of officers at the scene and expect them to be there for quite some time today as we carry out a thorough investigation.
