An NHS worker and her two-year-old daughter who were found dead in a suspected murder-suicide have been named by police.
Homicide detectives are investigating the deaths of Shiwangi Bagoan, 25, and Ziana Bagoan, two, but do not believe anyone else was involved.
The pair were pronounced dead at the scene in Old Meadow Lane, Hounslow, in west London, after police and paramedics were called to the address shortly after 4pm on Monday.
Bagoan is understood to have worked as an anaesthetist’s assistant for the University College Hospitals NHS foundation trust.
The trust said she was a “highly valued member of our team” who would be missed by her colleagues.
A statement added: ‘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.”
They said that as the police were investigating the circumstances around the deaths, it would not be appropriate to comment further at this stage.
DCI Helen Rance, who is leading the investigation, 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.”
In a statement on Monday, the Metropolitan police said the woman and the girl were related to each other. They said next of kin had been informed and were being supported by specialist officers.
“While the investigation is still in its early stages, officers do not currently believe anyone else was involved in this incident,” they said.
