A man and woman have died and three others have been injured in a "suspicious" explosion at a house in Bristol, police say.
Avon and Somerset Police were called to a house in Sterncourt Road, Frenchay, for a domestic-related incident minutes before an explosion happened at about 06:30 BST.
Three people - a man, a woman and a child - were also taken to hospital for minor injuries. A major incident was declared and officers cordoned off the area and evacuated nearby residents from their homes.
The force said the blast was "suspicious" but was not being treated as a terrorist incident.
In a press conference, Supt Matt Ebbs said officers were also carrying out inquiries in Speedwell in the city, at a property linked to the man who died.
