Peadar Phair, 55, and 51-year-old Concepta Leonard were found dead at a house in the Abbey Road area of Maguiresbridge in Co Fermanagh on Monday afternoon.
A man in his 30s was also found in the Abbey Road house with stab wounds to his abdomen - he's in a stable condition in hospital.
The attack on the younger man is being treated as attempted murder, while the death of the woman - who's understood to be his mother - is being treated as murder.
Police investigators remain at the scene this morning. Detective chief inspector Eamon Corrigan said: We are not looking for anyone else in relation to the incident at this time.''
Former Fermanagh and South Tyrone SDLP Assembly member Richie McPhillips said Ms Leonard was a businesswoman involved in catering, as well as a musician.
Tributes have been paid to Concepta, who was well known in the local area.
Police established a large cordon around the Abbey Road house last night, with forensic officers in white suits working into the night.
Officers carried out door-to-door enquiries.
The house is large and detached, at the top of a hill. Forensics experts combed it for clues.
Detective chief inspector Corrigan added: Post-mortem examinations will be carried out in due course and at this stage we are working to establish the circumstances surrounding the incident.
Although our enquiries are at an early stage, we are treating the death of the woman as murder.''
Anyone with information has been asked to contact police.
