The bodies of Martina, 40, and her daughter Eleni, eight, were discovered at a house in Salford on Monday morning.
A mother and her eight-year-old daughter who were found dead in a suspected murder-suicide in Salford have been named locally. Martina, 40, and her daughter Eleni, who sources say was "severely disabled", were discovered at a house on South Radford Street on Monday morning.
One friend said she was shocked to hear the "worst had happened" after learning the heartbreaking news. A neighbour who knew Martina said she was a "loving" mother. She added: "It’s so hard to come to terms with." "She had a walking frame and she would walk with her mum up and down the street outside their house. A bus would come to take the girl to a special school each day. Martina was quite a closed person.
“Whilst we are not actively looking for anyone else in relation to this investigation, I understand the news of their deaths and the large police and emergency services presence at the address will most likely cause some concern to residents and those further afield in Greater Manchester. I want to reassure them that we believe this to be an isolated incident with no wider threat in the community.
