'Crime scene' for sale? House-hunters spot 'bloodied handprint' on bathroom walls in three-bed home - but estate agents insist it's probably red paint

A house has been listed for auction with pictures of a 'bloodied handprint' in the bathroom and splatters down another wall.

Prospective buyers were scrolling through properties online when they saw concerning red marks that they couldn't ignore on a three-bedroom home in Liverpool, Merseyside.

A photo of the bathroom shows a bright red handprint smeared above the sink and another image reveals spurts of red liquid dripping down a wall.

The mystery red marks in the property, which is listed for auction at £40,000, sparked speculation amongst house-hunters.

However, the estate agent thinks it is probably just red paint and part of a prank pulled by locals.
