Police have scaled back a cordon on a residential street in Dundee but the search for the body's of a mum and toddler continues.

25-year-old Bennylyn Burke and her two-year-old daughter Jellica are believed to have been murdered after going missing from their home in South Gloucestershire.

One of the four exits surrounding Troon Avenue in Ardler has reopened, five days after it was sealed off.

A forensic tent remains in the driveway of the home at the centre of this investigation.

Flowers and teddy bears have been left on opposite ends of the street.

It's not yet clear how long this search may take, with detectives warning at the weekend they could be there for a "considerable period of time."
