A murder investigation has been launched into the death of a woman who was found at her home in Nottinghamshire.

Officers also found the body of a man at the same address on Hallam Road, Mapperley, at around 6.30am on Monday (October 9).

The couple have now been formally identified and were named by police on Wednesday (October 11) as Deborah Boulter, aged 53, and David Boulter, aged 60.

Detective Inspector Clare Gibson, who is leading the investigation, said: “This is an incredibly tragic incident and our thoughts remain with the family and loved ones of those affected at this difficult time.

“A murder inquiry has commenced but we are not looking for anyone else in connection with the deaths. We are continuing to investigate what has happened so that a file can be prepared for the coroner. 

“Specially trained officers continue to support the family and I’d appeal to the public and the media to respect their privacy.”
