Officers are awaiting the results of post mortems by a Home Office pathologist to try and establish how they died.
Senior investigating officer DI Chris Burgess of Norfolk Police said: ‘Our investigation is in its early stages, however we believe that those involved are known to one another and we are not currently seeking anyone else in relation to this investigation.
