Shortly before 3 p.m. on Sunday a large number of police and rescue workers went to a villa in Erde / Conthey to help a couple. The canton police entered the villa and discovered the bodies of the 70-year-old woman and her husband, also around 70.
The influence of third parties seems to be excluded, as the Valais canton police wrote in a message. The couple found themselves in a desperate life situation.
The prosecution has opened an investigation to clarify the circumstances of the deaths. (noo)
