A 40-year-old woman and an eight-year-old girl have been found dead at a home in Greater Manchester.

Police said they were investigating the circumstances after the two bodies were found in South Radford Street, Salford.

Emergency services were called to the area at about 10:30 BST on Monday following reports of concerns for their welfare.

Greater Manchester Police said they were not actively looking for anyone else in relation to the investigation.

The force added that next of kin had been informed and were being supported by specialist officers.

Det Sup Simon Moyles said it was an “isolated incident” with “no wider threat in the community”.

A cordon has been put in place along the street and officers were continuing to patrol in and around the area.

A Salford City Council representative said: “We are aware of the terribly sad news this morning and our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of those who have tragically lost their lives.

“We’re working closely with Greater Manchester Police and assisting them with their ongoing investigation and our teams will be supporting both local residents and council staff who have no doubt been greatly affected by the events today.”
