Uncle and niece die at caravan park in Mansfield

A man and his niece have died at a caravan park in Nottinghamshire.

Richard Thompson, 66, and 48-year-old Lisa Butler were treated by paramedics but pronounced dead at Tall Trees Park Homes in Forest Town, Mansfield, soon afterwards.

Nottinghamshire Police said officers were called to the scene at about 22:00 BST on Tuesday.

Some residents told the BBC they had heard a violent assault, but this has not been confirmed by police.

Nottinghamshire Police said post-mortems are taking place to establish the cause of their deaths.

Det Insp Rich Monk said: "Following our initial investigations we now believe this is an isolated incident and we are not looking for anyone else in connection with the deaths."

A BBC reporter at the scene said there was "a lot of police activity" around one residential home and a cordon was in place.

Tall Trees Park, which has about 100 plots including 42 static homes in its residential park for the over 50s, is about 1.5 miles from Mansfield town centre.

It is owned by James Park Homes which has another park in Mansfield as well as one in Lincolnshire and one in Cumbria.
