Two charged with murder in Blackpool
Friday, November 15, 2024
DETECTIVES investigating the murder of Kevin Price in Blackpool have charged two people.
We attended The Garfield Hotel on Springfield Road in the resort on Sunday (November 10th) following a concern for welfare call.
Sadly, Kevin Price. 59, was found dead inside the address.
A Home Office postmortem examination showed Kevin, who lived alone at the property, died as a result of stab wounds.
Our Force Major Investigation Team has been carrying out an investigation and following enquiries earlier this week arrested two people on suspicion of Kevin’s murder.
Following consultation with the Crown Prosecution Service yesterday evening (Thursday, November 14th) we charged two people with murder.
Adam Saunders, 50, of Regent Road Blackpool and Helen Kenyon, 38, of Cheltenham Road, Blackpool will appear before Lancaster Magistrates’ Court this morning (Friday, November 15th)
Kevin’s family continue to be supported by specially trained officers. They have been told of the latest developments.
Det Chief Insp Simon Pritchard, of the Force Major Investigation Team, said: “My thoughts remain with Kevin’s loved ones. His family have been told of the latest developments.
“I am really grateful to everyone who has come forward during the course of the week with information to assist in our enquiries and while we have now charged two people, I would continue to appeal to anyone who can help to get in touch.
