Police launched a double murder investigation after the body of a man believed missing after his mother was found dead was discovered in a Coventry apartment.
Julie Williams, 58, was found dead in her Emily Smith House apartment in Riley Square, Bell Green on Sunday, October 25.
Yesterday, the police launched an appeal to find his son David Williams, who was reported missing. As reported, West Midlands Police said his disappearance was being treated as a missing person investigation and that he was not a suspect in his mother’s death.
Last night, Monday October 26, the body of Mr. Williams, 32, was found in a flat in Riley Square, Coventry.
Police are now trying to urgently locate a man named Anthony Russell, who they believe is responsible for the murders.
Russell, 28, does not have a fixed address but has ties to Coventry.
It is believed that he may have traveled to the south of the country, possibly to Plymouth, Devon or Cornwall.
Anyone who sees him is urged not to approach but to call the police immediately at 999, as he is considered dangerous.
The cause of Ms. Y Mr. Williams’s death has yet to be established and autopsies are expected to be performed.
