Officials are not looking for anyone else in connection with the incident.

Michelle Cunningham, 49, who lives nearby, said: “I thought I’d come and lay flowers after hearing what happened. It is so sad.

“They were an Eastern European family that kept to themselves. Sometimes I saw the man in front of his house.

“I didn’t know their names or much about what happened – I only heard about it last night.”
