A couple killed in Dorset when a landslip engulfed their car had cut short a restaurant meal and were hurrying home because they were concerned about the torrential rain.
The man and woman died when tonnes of mud, rubble and vegetation crushed their car near the Beaminster tunnel, which was closed on 7 July due to the landslip.
The silver Skoda the couple were travelling in lay undiscovered for nine days under hundreds of tonnes of debris at the entrance to the tunnel on the A3066. It is not known if the pair were killed instantly or survived the initial impact.
Police confirmed on Wednesday that they had recovered two bodies from the mud-filled car. They appealed for anyone who saw the vehicle travelling from Beaminster towards the tunnel between 9.30pm and 10.30pm on 7 July to come forward.
Officers have not formally declared the identity of the couple. However police sources have confirmed that the woman is believed to be Rosemary Snell, 67, who had recently moved from London to a cottage in Somerset.
