Shooting victims' final moments
Alexander Woodcraft and Andrew Walker
Alexander Woodcraft and Andrew Walker were half-brothers
Police investigating the murder of two half-brothers who were found shot dead have been trying to piece together their final moments.

Half-brothers Andrew Walker, 26, and Alexander Woodcraft, 17, were found in different rooms at the first-floor flat in Reynolds Drive in Lincoln on Sunday evening.

Detectives in Lincoln believe the pair had been on a pub crawl just hours before they were murdered.

Both were found shot dead in Mr Walker's flat after the father of the younger brother went looking for his son.

Detective Superintendent Graham White said: "So far we have been able to establish that they went to the bus station, the Barbican Falcon and Duke's Head pubs.

"We are also appealing for taxi or bus drivers who may have seen the pair later to get in touch with us."

Police have refused to go into detail about how the brothers were found or the number of gunshot wounds.

Alexander Woodcraft was a sixth form pupil at Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School in Horncastle.

The relatives of both of the victims are said to be distraught.
