A man has been charged with the murders of a mother and her daughter in Great Waldingfield, near Sudbury, last month.
44 year old Jillu Nash was found dead along with 12 year old daughter Louise Nash at a home in the Heath Estate at around 10am on September 8.
A post-mortem determined Jillu had died from pressure to the neck, while Louise had suffered a stab wound to the abdomen.
A 46 year old old man, who was found at the scene with serious injuries, has now been charged with two counts of murder.
Peter Nash, of the Heath Estate, will appear at Ipswich Magistrates Court today (October 17).
In a tribute issued a few weeks ago, the family of Jillu and Louise said:
“We, the family of Jillu and Louise Nash, have been struck by utter devastation, despair and pain by the tragic way the beautiful little lives of a young mother and a child have ended and from whom we are now separated forever.
“Our only solace is that Jillu and Louise are together in heaven eternally. This catastrophe will never leave us and the pain will stay in our hearts forever.
“We appreciate Suffolk Constabulary's efforts, which have been honest, sincere and sensitive. They have treated us with great respect and due care, for which we are extremely touched and acknowledge this with gratitude.
“We are also very grateful to Jillu's neighbours, the people of Sudbury, work colleagues, school teachers, peers, friends and well-wishers.
"We are astounded and comforted to learn of the way our daughter and granddaughter touched the hearts of so many in the Sudbury community.”
