A 40-year-old woman and an eight-year-old girl have both been found dead inside a property in Salford.
Greater Manchester Police said they were called to South Radford Street just after 10.30am following reports of concern for welfare at the property. 'Officers attended, with assistance from North West Ambulance Service and Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service and a 40-year-old woman and an eight-year-old girl were both sadly found dead in the property,' the force said. All known next of kin have been informed and are being supported by specialist officers.
'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.
