A mother and daughter murdered at their home in Salisbury have been named locally.
Aneta Zdun, 40, and Nikoleta Zdun, 18, died at the property in Wessex Road, on the junction with Kelsey Road, at around 3pm on Monday afternoon.
Neighbours are said to have tackled the murder suspect – understood to be father and husband Marcin Zdun – to the ground after he was seen fleeing from the scene after the violent attack.
It’s believed the women suffered fatal knife wounds in the incident, to two younger children – aged five and seven – were witness. Both were heard screaming for their lives during the attack.
Today, flowers were left outside the property as police continued their complex murder investigation. It’s thought the probe will go on for several more days as forensics collect evidence.
