"A murder investigation was launched today after a millionaire couple thought to have died from carbon monoxide poisoning at their home were found to have the deadly synthetic opioid fentanyl in their systems.
Stephen Baxter, 61, and his wife Carol, 64, were found dead 'together and peaceful' in armchairs by their daughter Ellie in their five-bedroom house in a yachting town of West Mersea, Essex on Easter Sunday this year.
Essex Police said at the time there was nothing suspicious about the deaths and were treating them as accidental.
But they have now arrested three people – a man and a woman in their 20s and another man in his 30s - on suspicion of murder after post-mortem examinations [...]
Details emerged at the formal opening of an inquest into their deaths today."
