A neighbour saw feet poking out from a rolled up duvet in the garden

An investigation is underway after a shocked neighbour discovered the bodies of two men rolled up in a duvet in a garden. The unidentified men were found in a back garden in Hull, East Yorkshire, on Friday evening and police said their deaths were being treated as 'suspicious and unexplained'.
Dina Kacare, who had moved into the property next door only two weeks earlier, alerted police after she saw feet poking out from a rolled-up duvet in the back garden.

Ms Kacare moved into her one-bedroom flat in May Street a fortnight ago and was showing her new garden to a friend when she looked over her fence and saw 'two legs sticking out from under a duvet' shortly after 6pm on Friday evening.
The 39-year-old said: 'I was cleaning my garden with my friend when I noticed that I could see into my neighbour's garden next door.
'A few bricks had fallen off the wall so we started comparing how clean the garden was compared to mine. 'We saw a duvet and then two legs sticking out of it.'

Shortly after making the discovery, Ms Kacare's landlord arrived at her property to collect the rent and they rang the police together.
Ms Kacare added: 'About a week ago I saw a man and a woman, in their 50s, going into the property - they were English speaking.
'I don't know if they lived there or not - I haven't seen them since.'
Humberside Police are now investigating the circumstances surrounding the deaths.
A police spokesman said: 'The deaths are still being treated as suspicious but unexplained at this time and the men have not yet been formally identified.
'A post mortem is due to take place to establish the cause of death of both men.'
Detective Superintendent Matt Hutchinson said the incident was of 'great concern' to the local community.
He said: 'As a result of this incident extra officers will be in the May Street area carrying out enquiries and reassuring the public.
'Significant enquiries are underway to establish how and when the men died.
'A large number of police resources working on the investigation carrying out house to house, CCTV and forensic enquiries.
'We still need the public's help and I would urge anyone with information about the deaths to call Humberside Police immediately, as your call could make a big difference to the investigation.
'We would especially like to speak to those people who have been living or visiting May Street over the last week. 'We need their help to assist in establishing the movements to and from the address.'
