An elderly couple died side by side in a freak lawnmower accident.
Albert Banks is thought to have been electrocuted when he ran his machine over its power cable while cutting wet grass.
His wife Beatrice came to his aid only to receive a fatal electric shock when she touched him.
Their son found their bodies lying together in the back garden when he called at their home.
Officers arrived to find the lawnmower's power was still on and rescue workers had to cut off the supply before trying to revive the couple who were both 87.
Police suspect the accident may have happened the evening before the bodies were found.
