Police investigating the murders of a woman and her two children have discovered the body of their suspected killer in Anglesey.
The mother, named locally as store manager Geraldine Newman, and her daughter and son were discovered at their home near Leeds.
The deaths were believed to be domestic-related.
West Yorkshire Police said the body of the man, who they have not named, was found at 5pm on cliffs in South Stack in Anglesey.
The South Stack cliffs are a beauty spot in Wales popular with walkers and bird watchers.
Detective Chief Inspector Warren Stevenson, of West Yorkshire Police Homicide and Major Enquiry Team, said: "The man's identity is yet to be confirmed but we are liaising closely with our colleagues in North Wales Police as we believe this may be linked to our investigation in Leeds."
Police were called the house on Beeston Way in the village of Allerton Bywater in Leeds shortly before 12pm on Tuesday and found Ms Newman's body downstairs.
The bodies of her daughter, named locally as Shannon who is aged around 11, and her six-year-old son were found upstairs.
According to reports, colleagues of Ms Newman raised the alarm.
Detective Chief Inspector Stevenson added: "Post-mortem examinations are yet to take place to establish the causes of their deaths but the victims have died in suspicious circumstances and therefore we are treating their deaths as murder."
Ms Newman was a branch manager for Wilko where she had worked for 23 years. A spokesman said she was a "loyal and enormously respected member of the team."
He added: "This is tragic news and has devastated everyone who worked with Geraldine as well as impacting team members across the company.
"Our heartfelt thoughts and condolences are with her family, friends and colleagues at this very difficult time and everything is being done to support those team members who are affected by this tragic news."
