Nine people have died in a string of killings as Britain entered its second week under the coronavirus quarantine.
The bodies of four people and a dead dog were found at a house in Sussex after a man was charged with killing his wife in South Wales.
An NHS nurse was also stabbed to death in the street in South Yorkshire and three died in an apparent murder-suicide in Hertfordshire.
It comes on the seventh day of Britain’s unprecedented lockdown to slow the spread of the deadly coronavirus.
Two adults and two children were found dead on Sunday evening at a house in Woodmancote, Sussex.
Police found the bodies – believed to be from the same family – and the dog after responding to a report of concern for the occupants.
A spokesman confirmed the force has launched a murder inquiry after the grim discovery at around 6.45pm on Sunday.
Yesterday, 69-year-old Anthony Williams from Brynglas, Cwmbran, South Wales, appeared in court accused of murdering his ‘lovely’ wife during self-isolation.
He was arrested after police found his Ruth, a former school dinner lady, ‘unconscious and unresponsive’ at their property.
The mother of one, from Cwmbran, South Wales, died later in hospital of suspected head injuries.
The couple had been married for 45 years and neighbours said they appeared to be ‘devoted’ to each other.
Williams, who denies the charges, appeared at Cardiff Magistrates’ Court for a two-minute hearing in which he spoke only to confirm his name, date of birth and address.
He was remanded in custody by District Judge Stephen Harmes and is due to appear at Cardiff Crown Court tomorrow.
