Detective Chief Inspector Charlotte Whalley from GMP’s Major Incident Team, said: “My thoughts, and the thoughts of the entire investigation team remain with the family of the Martina and Eleni.

“It is such a tragic loss of life, and our main priority is keeping their loved ones updated throughout the investigation.

“A cordon remains in place on Radford Street and will remain in place whilst officers work in the area.

"We know there will be some disruption to the local community as a result of our scene, but it is so important that we do this, we need to be able to provide their loved ones with the information they need to process this news." 

DCI Whalley added: “We thank the public for their patience whilst we investigate and their compassion as flowers can be seen outside the property, showing the amount of support the family have from members of the community.

“We continue to conduct a full and thorough investigation, and at this time we are not actively looking for anyone else in relation to this case.

"We believe that there are no suspicious circumstances and we are working to conclude our investigation and pass a file to the coroner.
