A mother and her young son found dead at an address in Newmarket have been named by police.

Following post mortem examinations, police have identified 28-year-old Snehashree Sudarshan and her son, four-year-old Abhay Rao.

Officers had been called shortly before 6pm on Friday, April 26 to an address in Park Avenue, where the pair lived.

A member of the public had reported to police he had found a woman and a young boy both deceased in the property.
