A heartbreaking picture of a couple who were murdered in an alleged park row shows the couple with beaming smiles on their wedding day.
Jennifer Chapple, 33, and her husband Stephen, 36, were murdered in Norton Fitzwarren, Somerset, following an alleged parking feud with neighbors.
The picture shows the happy couple walking down the street on their wedding day.
A video surfaced showing Jennifer being involved in an argument on her doorstep just weeks before she died.
The grainy footage she sent to a friend shows how she is confronted by a man who accuses her, “Damn it.”
He unleashes a rant of expletives before she goes inside and he walks away, still cursing.

Jennifer and her husband Stephen were found dead in their home on Sunday night.
Her children, boys aged six and five, were unharmed but “distressed” inside.
Police, who said the children were asleep at the time of the attack, confirmed Jennifer had died from stab wounds while her husband was still being autopsied.
Two men were arrested on suspicion of murder.
One, 34, was questioned Monday night after judges granted an extension to his term.

A 67-year-old man was also arrested on Sunday but released as part of the investigation.
Avon and Somerset Police said the incident at the Dragon Rise property was being referred to police based on “prior police contact with those involved”.
Chief Inspector Justin French said, “There have been previous incidents. There have been callouts in the past. “
Local residents claimed the police had been called over parking lot disputes. One local resident said: “The police have been outside at least three times because of the parking lots, which is absolutely ridiculous.”

Another resident, Melissa, said, “Everyone has a problem parking here. Some people have several cars that don’t have room and that caused a lot of trouble. “
Flowers laid at the crime scene for the chapples paid tribute to “sincere dear people.” One resident named Barbara, 40, said, “When I saw Jennifer, she was so kind and always smiling.
“We will miss them both very much.”
