Derbyshire Police are appealing for video footage after a woman and three children were found dead at a home in Killamarsh on Sunday morning.

The force has set up an online portal as they continue to investigate the deaths of 35-year-old Terri Harris, her two children John-Paul and Lacey Bennett and 11-year-old Connie Gent.

Detectives say anything caught on CCTV cameras, dashcams or digital doorbells could help their investigation and can be submitted here: https://mipp.police.uk/operation/33EM21A24-PO1.

A 31-year-old man- who was taken to hospital with minor injuries- remains in police custody on suspicion of murder.

Detective Chief Inspector Sally Blaiklock who is leading the investigation said: “Our thoughts remain with the families of Terri, John Paul, Lacey and Connie – as well as the communities that have been affected by this most tragic of incidents.

“A large scene remains in place on Chandos Crescent and local residents will see an increased police presence in the area over the coming days, including patrols by officers in the local area.

“I would urge anyone who is concerned about the incident to speak to officers in the area or use the online reporting tool to pass information in confidence.

“Myself and the team of the detectives are particularly keen to hear from anyone who was in Chandos Crescent between 6pm on Saturday 18 September and 7am on Sunday 19 September, as well as anyone who may have video footage of the street.

“That can include dashcam, mobile phone footage, CCTV or video doorbells.”
