They continue to be supported by specialist family liaison officers.

Two women injured in the incident were treated and discharged from hospital.

A cordon remains at the property on Dovey Road as specialist forensic examinations continue.

Extra officers will continue to patrol the area. Police have thanked the local community for their care and assistance in this deeply upsetting investigation.
