A mother and her two-year-old daughter who were found dead in west London in a suspected murder-suicide have been named by police.
Homicide detectives are investigating the deaths of Shiwangi Bagoan, 25, and Ziana Bagoan, but do not believe anyone else was involved.
The pair were pronounced dead at the scene in Old Meadow Lane, Hounslow, after police and paramedics were called to the scene shortly after 4pm on Monday.
Detective Chief Inspector Helen Rance said: "This is a tragic incident. We are extremely saddened by the deaths of Shiwangi, a young mother, and her daughter.
"Our deepest condolences go to her family, friends and colleagues at this difficult and upsetting time.
"Officers are currently investigating the circumstances around their deaths, and inquiries continue."
The pair’s bodies were found in a fourth-floor flat in Drake Court.
A 24-year-old man who lives in the building but did not want to be named said: "It is very disturbing.
“I have never had something like this happen in my life so close to home. It is pretty awful.”
Ms Bagoan reportedly worked as an anaesthetist's assistant for the University College Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
In a statement, the trust said: "We are extremely saddened by the deaths of Shiwangi and her child.Our deepest condolences go to her family, friends and loved ones at this very difficult time.
"Shiwangi was a highly valued member of our team and she will be missed by her colleagues.
"As the police are currently investigating the circumstances around the deaths, it would not be appropriate to comment further at this stage.”
