Man charged with killing a beloved married couple found dead in their home.

Josh and Chloe Bashford were a married couple with four children and their deaths have left the family heartbroken. On Friday evening, their bodies were discovered in their home in Newhaven, about nine miles east of Brighton.

Sussex Police has since charged Derek Martin, 64, also known as Derek Glenn, of Moulsecoomb Way, Brighton with two counts of murder. As he was known to the victims, he has been remanded in custody and will appear at Brighton Magistrates’ Court today.

The family is still in shock after the sudden loss and have taken to social media to express their sorrow. George Last, a niece of the couple, said they were the “most funny and loving pair” and Stephen Glenn, their brother, said they’ve been “taken cruelly from us, far too young”.

A post-mortem is scheduled to take place this week and the police have asked the public not to speculate or comment on the investigation. Detective Chief Inspector Kimball Edey, of the Surrey and Sussex Major Crime Team, has urged people to keep the family of the two victims in their thoughts and prayers.
