Detectives have launched an investigation into the deaths of a woman and a man in the Illogan area, near Redruth.

Emergency services were called to an address in Churchtown Road at around 6.55am this morning (Friday, January 10) where a woman aged in her 60s was found dead inside the property.

Officers attended an area of the A30 a short time later following concern for the welfare of a man aged in his fifties. The man subsequently fell from a bridge and was declared deceased at the scene.

An investigation is ongoing to establish the full circumstances of both deaths.

The man and the woman were known to each other. The next-of-kin of both people have been informed and are being supported by special-trained officers.

The eastbound carriageway of the A30 was closed as part of the investigation and reopened at around 1.30pm.

Detective Superintendent Jon Bancroft said: “This is an incredibly sad incident and we are doing all we can to support the next-of-kin of the people who have died.

“Officers are carrying out enquiries to establish exactly what happened and cordons have been in place to allow for a thorough investigation of the scenes.

“It is not believed anyone else was involved in the incident and enquiries will continue to find out the full circumstances surrounding the deaths.

“I would like to reassure the community that this is being treated as an isolated incident and at this time we are not seeking anyone else in connection to the deaths.

“There will be an increased police presence in the areas and we would encourage anyone to contact officers from the local neighbourhood policing team if they have any concerns.”

Anyone with information can contact police online or by telephone on 101, quoting log number 131 of 10/01/25.
