A neighbour who lives on the same street, David Bullock, walked past the scene this morning. 

"We heard all the ambulances and sirens last night when we were getting ready to go to bed," he said.

Another neighbour Sarah Littman said she was in "pure shock".

"You don't expect to see this on your morning walk, it's just so sad. I'm a bit speechless to be honest," she said.

"You don't really think these things can happen, especially so close to home."
