These are the first pictures of two women and a man who died in a suspected murder-suicide that has left a town in shock.
It is understood that a man stabbed his mother and girlfriend during the "absolute tragedy" on Friday night, and police have said they are not looking for anyone else.
The stabbing victims have been named locally as Karen McClean and Stacey Knell, 30. The man was Ms McClean's son, Ken Flanagan.
Ms McClean's neighbours reported hearing her screaming "I'm dying, I'm dying, it's my son" after she was knifed at her home.
Ms Knell's former partner claims he warned police about Flanagan just hours before the deaths.

The three bodies were found at separate properties in Newtownabbey, north of Belfast.
Police were called just before 11pm on Friday to a report of a stabbing at Ms McClean's home.
Neighbours heard the mum-of-two call out "I'm dying, I'm dying, it's my son", the Irish Independent reported.
She was pronounced dead at the scene.
It is thought Flanagan stabbed his mum to death and then travelled to a family-owned property where he killed his girlfriend, Ms Knell, and took his own life.
Ms Knell is survived by a young daughter. Flanagan also had a daughter.
When officers attended that home they found an unconscious man inside the property. He died at the scene despite efforts to save him.
A woman's body was found during a search of the property.
It is understood the authorities had previously ordered Flanagan to stay away from his mum's house due to violent behaviour, the Irish Independent reported.
Ms McClean had recently praised her son, revealing his battle with drug addiction.
She wrote on social media: "My handsome son, love you unconditionally. If you only realised your self worth. You're better than any of them."
Sam Lillie, Ms Knell's former partner and father of her daughter, claims he warned police about "out of control" Flanagan's behaviour just hours before the killings.
Mr Lillie claims he contacted social services and visited a police station early on Friday.
He told Sunday World: "The reason why alarm bells started ringing was because on Wednesday I saw Ken with Stacey, my daughter, and that's when the red flags started popping up for me - that's when I realised I had to take some kind of action because I didn't want a guy with his reputation to be near my daughter.
"They told me they only investigate crimes. They said they can't advise Stacey on who she has a relationship with."
Police confirmed they did receive a report, but said there was no evidence the child was in danger.
It is understood Flanagan was recently imprisoned and resumed a relationship with Ms Knell once he was released.
Detective Chief Inspector John Caldwell said: “While we have launched a murder investigation, we are not looking for anyone else in connection with these incidents which we believe are connected.”
Northern Ireland's Minister for Justice has said the murder of two women on Friday night was an "absolute tragedy".
Naomi Long said while she could not comment on the specific incident, it is a tragedy when violence is perpetrated against women.
Ms Long said it is "hugely important" to focus on issues surrounding domestic violence.
She said she plans to bring a paper to the Northern Ireland Executive in the coming days that would introduce a strategy to protect women and girls from violence.
Northern Ireland is the only part of the UK that does not have a specific strategy.
"I'm also bringing forward a Miscellaneous Provisions Bill which will be at the Assembly in May and that will deal with a wide range of issues which Sir John Gillen identified in his review of serious sexual offences," Ms Long told BBC Sunday Politics programme.
"We need to see progress made, for example in education in terms of relationship and sex education, in terms of dispelling rape myths, in terms of dealing with attitude around victim blaming.
"We need to deal with things like street harassment, which is hard to prosecute as crimes but nevertheless has a huge impact on women's lives."
Ms Long also defended the decision to make the proposed legislation gender-neutral.
"We want to recognise that there are men, there are people who are transgender, there are those who are in same sex-relationships who are also subject to domestic violence and abuse," she added.
Kelly Andrews, CEO of Women's Aid in Belfast, said that a gender-neutral strategy "does not cut it".
"What we've been doing has not been good enough," Ms Andrews added.
"Two women in the UK are murdered every single week and tragically in Northern Ireland on Friday night we had the murder of two women.
"We really need to recognise the gender-specific nature of domestic abuse.
"Seventy per cent of domestic abuse victims are female and that really needs to be recognised.
"So, having a gender-neutral strategy really doesn't cut it.
"We believe that having gender-neutral language in a strategy doesn't work.
"We're the only part of the UK that does not have one, we need to focus on early intervention of schools, about healthy relationships and conversations about consent for boys and girls.
"We need to be looking at workplace policies, we also need to focus as well on perpetrators and reducing reoffending.
"We need to get men involved in the conversation to call out misogynistic behaviour when they see it as well."
DUP MP Carla Lockhart said her party backs the proposal for specific strategy.
"It is important that Northern Ireland is in line with the rest of the United Kingdom," she added.
"It's not all about a strategy, it's how it's rolled out on the ground and how we protect women in Northern Ireland.
"That is of utmost importance given recent events and it's important that it comes forward with immediate effect."
