Somerset couple stabbed to death as young children slept upstairs - over parking?
A husband and wife were stabbed to death at their Somerset home as their children slept upstairs, police have said.
Paramedics tried to save Stephen Chapple, 36, a teacher, and Jennifer Chapple, 33, who worked in a coffee shop, but they died of their wounds in their house in the village of Norton Fitzwarren, near Taunton.
When police arrived they found their children, aged five and six, still asleep. Officers ushered them away, not allowing them to see their parents’ bodies.
Neighbours said there had been disputes about parking in the street and that police had visited on at least three previous occasions to speak to those involved.

Two men, aged 34 and 67, were arrested. Over parking? Madness.
