Tragically, a 12-year-old girl and her mother were found stabbed to death.
The girl and the 44-year-old woman were both found with stab wounds yesterday morning.
Following the incident in Great Waldingford, Suffolk, a 46-year-old man was rushed to the hospital and detained after being located inside the home with serious injuries as well.
The mother and daughter are believed to have known him. Although serious, his status is stable.

The mother’s post-mortem revealed that she had died from pressure on the neck. The post-mortem for the girl is anticipated for next week.
