Neighbours in the couple's ordinary, suburban street have spoken of their shock at the incident.

The woman, who wished to remain anonymous, told the Warrington Guardian: 'We were out all day and came back to find lots of police cars on the street.

'The only problem we have around here is speeding. It's a very quiet street.

'It's all very sad.'
