MYSTERY surrounds the deaths of two women after their bodies were found inside a home on a quiet residential street.
Emergency crews were called to the property on Caponflat Crescent in Haddington after concerns were raised for the people at the property last Wednesday afternoon.
When officers arrived, they found the pair dead inside the house.
Detectives investigating the double tragedy say the deaths are being treated as unexplained but not suspicious.
Locals told how police officers have been attending the property over the last few days.
One woman, who declined to be named, said: “I didn’t even know something had happened until I saw the police on Saturday in the street, they have been here every day since.
“This is a really quiet area and most folk keep themselves to themselves.
“When I heard two people were dead I got quite worried but the police officer said there was nothing to be panicking about.
“It’s a terrible thing to happen especially at this time of the year.”
Yesterday detectives were seen parked in a car on the street.
It’s understood a report will be submitted to the Crown Office in due course.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Around 3.10pm on Wednesday, 13 December 2023, police were called to a house in Caponflat Crescent, Haddington, after concern was raised for the occupants within.
“On attendance, two women were found deceased in the home.
“At this time, police are treating their deaths as unexplained but not suspicious, however, enquiries are ongoing.”
