A man and woman have been found stabbed to death in their hotel room in what is believed to have been a murder-suicide.

Chenise Gregory and her partner Michael McGibbon, both 29, were found with a number of knife wounds at the DoubleTree by Hilton Harrogate Majestic Hotel on Tuesday.

The couple had travelled more than 200 miles from London to stay at the £150-a-night hotel where they were pronounced dead by paramedics.

Detectives said they were treating Ms Gregory’s death as murder and are not looking for anyone else in connection with the incident.

Temporary Detective Chief Inspector Jonathan Sygrove said: ‘An investigation into the circumstances around the deaths is ongoing, but the evidence we have gathered at this stage suggests it is a suspected murder-suicide.

‘A post-mortem has taken place that has confirmed the couple died from stab wounds. We are treating Ms Gregory’s death as murder and we are not looking for anyone else in connection with the incident.

‘This is a very sad case and our thoughts are with their families and friends at this difficult time.’

He added: ‘We have specialist officers from North Yorkshire Police, supported by specialist officers from the Metropolitan Police supporting the family, and we will work with them as we investigate the circumstances leading to these tragic deaths.’
