Two people to face no further action over Walsall deaths

27 June 2012

TWO people arrested in connection with the deaths of a man and a woman in Walsall will face no further action by police.

An investigation was launched after 39-year-old Clare Sly and 43-year-old Derrick Vassell were found dead at a house on Laneside Gardens, Birchills at 1.37am on Friday 8 June.

A forensic post mortem revealed both died as a result of gunshot wounds to the chest.

Police immediately arrested a 23-year-old man and a 22-year-old woman who were later released on bail. Their bail has now been cancelled and they face no charges following the deaths.

A file is now being prepared for the coroner and an inquest will be opened in due course.
