LONDON: Conservative MP Michael Colvin and his wife Nichola died early on Thursday after a devastating fire swept through their Edwardian country home in Hampshire, police said.

"I now believe that unfortunately, the two occupants have not got out of the fire and have tragically died," detective superintendent Mike Lane said.

The bodies of Colvin (67) and Nichola (62), both friends of Prince Charles, are buried in the debris of the gutted Tangley house.
