A double murder investigation has been launched after the bodies of two people - reportedly a mum and her daughter - were found in a home in Lincolnshire.
The bodies of both victims, who have yet to be named, were found at a house in Spalding shortly after 12.15pm on Friday.
A police spokesman said officers are treating the deaths as suspicious and have made two arrests in connection with the inquiry.
Reacting to the news, a neighbour wrote online: "Next door to me rip. Mother and 1 of her daughters."
A smashed ground-floor window remains outside the semi-detached house on a suburban street.
Neighbours said a mother, who worked at a local school as a dinner lady, lived at the house with her two daughters.
Devon Baxter, 18, who has known the family for most of her life, said: "I used to talk to the mum because she was a dinner lady at my old school. She was a very nice lady and I have never seen her do anything wrong."
"As far as I know she has always lived at the house on her own with the two girls.
"One of the girls went to a local comprehensive school and the other girl was a few years younger."
Superintendent Paul Timmins, of Lincolnshire Police, said the deaths had understandably generated a great deal of local concern and upset.
Confirming that forensic inquiries were continuing at the property in Dawson Avenue, the officer said: "I would like to make clear that this type of crime is extremely rare.
"Indeed, we believe this is a completely isolated incident.
"There is still a lot of police activity in the area and extra officers in the neighbourhood and I would encourage anyone who has any concerns to please talk to our officers."
Mr Timmins added: "This is very much an active investigation that is in its early stages and police would like people not to speculate as to the circumstances surrounding it.
