The body of a woman and a man have been recovered from a river in Cambridgeshire.

Cambridgeshire Police were called to Chain Bridge in March at 8.35am on Saturday morning.

A car had been noted to have been parked in the area since 10 July, causing concern among locals. Police investigating the report said they were worried for the welfare of two people - a man and a woman in their 80s.

On Sunday afternoon, the woman's body was recovered from the river, but the search for the man continued for several hours.

A man's body, believed to be the man in his 80s, was found at around 4.30pm.

Detective Inspector Lee Womack from Cambridgeshire Police said: "We are currently treating the death of the woman as unexplained and would like to appeal to anyone who was driving in the area on July 10, and may have dashcam footage of a silver Vauxhall Astra or the man and woman."
