A man and woman 'jumped' 200ft to their deaths from a cliff in front of horrified onlookers at a seaside beauty spot, it is claimed.
Police rushed to Whitby Abbey, in North Yorkshire, at 7.16pm on Wednesday after the man and woman's bodies were spotted on the rocks beneath the cliff by a local.
The pair, believed to be aged in their 40s, were seen heading towards the cliffs on a path near Whitby Abbey, North Yorkshire, moments before.
The area was busy with holidaymakers, many of whom had been enjoying the evening after a day out at the historic 7th-century Abbey which sits on the clifftop over the historic fishing port of Whitby.
Shocked witnesses recalled seeing the pair stride up to the cliff edge, despite there being a sheer drop directly beneath.
