A nine-year-old girl was found strangled in a lorry cab shortly before police discovered a man hanged in a nearby tree.
Police had been alerted after the truck’s owners reported the vehicle missing on Saturday afternoon.
The Spar delivery vehicle was then traced to a lorry park on the A605 near Warmington in Northamptonshire.
The girl and the man cannot be named at this stage but police said the man was the partner of the girl’s mother.
A Northamptonshire Police spokesman said: “Both bodies were taken to Leicester Royal Infirmary last night so that forensic post mortems could be carried out.
