Bodies Found In Milton Keynes Fire
Two bodies have been found in a property in Milton Keynes, following a fire.
The fire broke out at the house in Fishermead Boulevard in the early hours of Sunday morning.

The bodies were discovered by firefighters around 1pm on Monday.
It is understood that several families lived in the building and, according to reports, the two bodies found are believed to be that of a mother and her child.
The cause of the fire is not yet known.
