Cops confirmed an investigation has been launched into the circumstances. A 52-year-old man has been arrested in connection.
One resident, who asked not to be named, said: “We looked out the window in the morning and there was just police everywhere. Forensics were also there in their white suits. That’s when we knew something really bad must have happened.
“This is a very quiet street where nothing happens. The residents are in absolute bits.”
Another neighbour said: "I opened the blinds and saw blue flashing lights.
"The street was full of police cars.
"Police have been here for four days. I saw forensic officers in the back garden using torches at night time. They've also been looking down the lane.
"We haven't heard anything. The police aren't telling neighbours very much."
Floral tributes have been laid at the front door of the property. Candles have also been placed along a wall on the driveway.
A police cordon remains at the home as the investigation continues.
