Bodies of mum and daughter found in house after 'not being seen for months'

The Nottingham duo were last seen by a neighbour back in February

Nottingham Police have this week made a gruesome discovery after finding the deceased bodies of two women - a mother and her daughter - inside a property in Radford.

The female occupants of the home on Hartley Road are believed to have 'lain' at the address 'for some time'.

At 11.04am on Tuesday, 21 May, the emergency services were called to the East Midlands parish after neighbours became increasingly concerned for the wellbeing of those residing inside.

After gaining entry to the property, officers were met with a stomach-wrenching sight, locating the bodies of the two women immediately.

Nottingham Police explained in a subsequent statement: "We were called at 11.04am today (Tuesday) after concerns were raised for the welfare of the occupants of a property in Hartley Road, Radford.

"Officers later gained entry to the address and found the bodies of two women inside. It is believed they had lain undiscovered for some time."

According to Nottingham Live, a mother in her 40s and her teenage daughter were living at the address.

A shop worker on the same road says the discovery made by police has rocked the community, describing the double death as 'shocking'.

The man - who works in the nearby Food Basket African Butchers & Grocers - told press that he first saw a police officer on Hartley Road at midday on Tuesday.

He added that a police vehicle was spotted later in the afternoon, adding: "We saw a police car yesterday and this morning, I thought it was normal, routine.

"It is surprising, it’s quite shocking."

Deborah Williams later revealed she'd last seen the mother-daughter duo back in February, but alleged that their absence wasn't initially seen as a cause for concern, being that the pair would often be away for months from time to time.

"I noticed that a video I took of the back of my house from February to report fly tipping to the council also showed their house and you could see the windows open then," she explained.

"My pictures show the windows last being closed around February 9. It's a crying shame."

Detective Chief Inspector Ruby Burrow told press today: "Whilst we don’t believe there to be an immediate risk to the public, we are keeping an open mind into what has happened at this address and will be working hard over the next few days to establish how and when these two women lost their lives."

"In the meantime my thoughts – and those of every other officer involved in this investigation – are with those who have died, their family and friends."
