Detective Chief Inspector Stacey Atkinson, of West Yorkshire Police’s Homicide and Major Enquiry Team, said: “Sadly two people have lost their lives in what appears to be a domestic-related incident.
“We have extensive enquiries ongoing to understand the circumstances of what has taken place.
“We have specially-trained officers supporting family members as they try to come to terms with this extremely tragic incident. I would ask for their sakes for people to please avoid posting any potentially upsetting speculation about what has happened and those involved on social media.
“If anyone does have any information that could assist our ongoing investigation, I would ask them to please pass it on to my team.”
