The couple had four children and eight grandchildrenA team of more than 60 detectives is working to track down the killer of a married couple found dead in their Birmingham home by their policeman son.
The bodies of Avtar Singh-Kolar, 62, and his wife Carole, 58, were found at their house in Friary Road, Handsworth Wood, on Wednesday morning.
It is believed that the couple, who had four children and eight grandchildren, had been assaulted.
Police have said they are working "around the clock" to catch the killer.
The couple's son, a serving officer with the West Midlands force, went to his parents' house after being unable to contact them on the phone.
Police have said they are keeping an open mind about the motive for the killings and about what kind of weapon was used.
The Singh-Kolars lived in Handsworth Wood for most of their livesDet Supt Richard Baker said they were investigating the possibility that it might have been a revenge attack linked to the couple's son's police work, but said there was currently no information to suggest that was the case.
He said: "I can assure the local communities and the family that we will catch the people who have done this horrendous crime.
"Our thoughts are with the family of this couple and the community in which they lived."
Mr Baker described the Singh-Kolars as a "close-knit, loving family" and said the couple had been married for 40 years and had lived in the Handsworth Wood area for most of their lives.
Police are appealing for anyone with information to come forward.
