James Hughes
Heather Wardle
In what was described as one of the saddest cases that officers had seen, West Mercia police confirmed yesterday that a body found in Redditch was that of James Hughes, who suffered severe disabilities.
Mr Hughes, 22, who had the mental age of a toddler, was found at his family home on Wednesday, just two days after his mother's body was discovered by teenagers at the base of a tree. While police said they were treating the death of Heather Wardle, 39, as unexplained, a ligature around her neck appeared to indicate she hanged herself.
Officers said they would need to study dental records formally to identify Mr Hughes's remains and were trying to establish when he had died.
A man and a youth arrested on Wednesday on suspicion of murder remained in custody yesterday at police stations in Redditch and Kidderminster in Worcestershire. Detectives refused to reveal whether they were known to the family.
