Police investigating a double murder have named and pictured the victims, with permission from their family.
Although formal identification has not yet taken place, those who died are believed to be Clive Warrington, 67, and Valerie Warrington, 73.
Both of the victims sustained stab wounds.
Emergency services were called to Sherborne Place in Cheltenham, with a report of a serious assault, at 6.25am today.
Officers arrived to find a man with stab wounds. He was declared dead at the scene by paramedics.
Following concerns for the welfare of a second person, officers visited a property in Whiteshoots Hill in Bourton-on-the-Water. They discovered the body of a woman, who had also suffered stab wounds.
A man from Cheltenham has been arrested on suspicion of murder in connection with both deaths, which are being linked by detectives. The suspect was arrested near to the scene in Cheltenham.
The victims, who had previously been married and later divorced, were known to him. Officers are not currently looking for anyone else in connection with the ongoing investigation.
The thoughts of Gloucestershire Constabulary are with their family at this difficult time.
