A couple have been found
dead in their home on Christmas Day in what appears to be a suicide pact.
The
bodies of the husband and wife, who have two children thought to be between
five and seven years old, were found at a house in Billingshurst, West Sussex, England.
The
mother, aged 30, was discovered along with her 33-year-old husband, who was
found hanging, shortly after 9am when a concerned relative went to the couple’s
home and saw the bodies through a window.
Police were called to the
house in Groomsland Drive where the couple were pronounced dead at the scene.
Neighbours said the couple were "in deep financial trouble" and had apparently
decided to end their lives because they could not cope at Christmas with the
money worries.
It
is understood the couple had sent their children to stay with a relative under
the pretence they wanted to prepare the house for Christmas
Sad story, money is not everything
