Missing Devon mum and son found dead in Lancashire

Police in Lancashire have launched a murder investigation after the bodies of a mother and baby from Devon were found at a home in Chorley, Lancashire.

Police said Angel Hudson, 26, and her son Arthur Hudson-Cardy, were discovered at a house on Princess Way in Euxton on Wednesday evening.

The case is being treated as a murder inquiry but police are not looking for anyone else.

Ms Hudson and her son went missing from their home in Teignmouth in 2013.

Police said the family had been informed.

Det Supt Eddie Thistlethwaite, who is leading the investigation, said: "This is a tragic case.

"It is being treated as a murder inquiry although we are not looking for anybody else in connection with this incident.

"We are still in the very early stages of this investigation but we are conducting a number of inquiries in order to establish the exact circumstances surrounding the deaths."

In November last year Devon and Cornwall Police appealed for anyone who knew the of Angel and Arthur’s whereabouts to contact them as they had not been seen for several months.
