Gary and Josh Dunmore died of gunshot wounds at two separate properties in Cambridgeshire in March.
A man has admitted to the murders of a father and son who were found shot dead in two Cambridgeshire towns within minutes of each other.
Gary Dunmore, 57, and Josh Dunmore, 32, died of gunshot wounds at properties in Bluntisham and Sutton on March 29.
Stephen Alderton, 67, with no fixed address, pleaded guilty to two counts of murder at Cambridge Crown Court on Wednesday.
Judge Mark Bishop said he would be sentenced in October.
Alderton denied a charge of possession of a firearm, a double-barreled shotgun, with the intent to cause fear of violence to another person.
Prosecutor Peter Gair said there was “no public interest in seeking a trial” of the charge and the judge ordered it dropped.
Wearing a gray polo shirt and blue jeans, the defendant showed no emotion in court, with relatives of the victims watching from the jury seats.
He only spoke to confirm his name and present his allegations.
No details of the case were presented at the hearing, but at the time of the shooting, police described the incident as “targeted” and said the “main line of investigation” was that the incident related to a “family matter”.
Prosecutor Gair told the court that they were “still at an early stage in terms of getting evidence to help” in the case.
“There is an application before the family court,” he said.
Shortly after the first shooting was reported in Bluntisham, the body of 57-year-old Gary Dunmore was found on The Row, Sutton.
Police found the body of Josh Dunmore after gunshots were heard in Meridian Close, Bluntisham, just after 9pm BST on March 29.
Cambridgeshire Police said the 32-year-old man was shot twice in the hallway of his home.
Approximately 30 minutes later, Mr Dunmore’s father, Gary, was shot three times at his home in The Row, Sutton.
The two properties are about six miles (10 km) apart and located in the countryside between Ely and St Ives.
Police said Alderton left in his motorhome but was arrested around 01:30 BST the next day on the M5 near Worcester.
family tribute
A statement from the two men’s family issued at the time of his death described Josh as a “devoted father and loving uncle.”
It said: “He was a wonderful son and brother and leaves behind an extensive group of family and friends.”
The family said Gary “was the most devoted son, brother, father and grandfather, giving everything for his loved ones.”
“He was a kind and generous person who always put others before himself and his family and will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him,” they added.
Det Ch Insp Katie Dounias, from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Major Crimes Unit, said: “Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Gary and Josh at this difficult time.”
