| (40 minutes later) | |
| A murder investigation has started after the discovery of the bodies of two adults and two children at a house in Leeds. | |
| The bodies were found in a fire-damaged upstairs bedroom at a detached house on Sheridan Way, Pudsey, police said. | |
| Officers were called to the house on Sunday evening following the concerns of family members. | |
| A 37-year-old man and his 36-year-old female partner, along with two boys aged nine and one, were found. | |
| Det Supt Paul Taylor, from West Yorkshire's Homicide and Major Enquiry Team, said: "Initially we had concerns regarding the release of harmful chemicals or gases. | |
| "Following testing, we no longer have any concerns with regards to those working at the scene and we will continue our investigations today. | |
| "Inquiries are at an early stage and I would ask anyone with information about the incident to contact the Homicide and Major Enquiry Team." | |
| 'Ordinary family' | |
| Post-mortem examinations are due to be carried out later on Monday. | |
| Neighbours said the people who lived in the house were an ordinary family who moved in a few months ago. | |
| One woman who laid flowers at the police cordon said her children went to school with one of the boys. | |
| "It's terrible. From what I saw of them, they were very fun-loving, kind and caring - full of life," she said. |
