Marcin Zdun, originally from Poland, who worked nights packing at Tesco, is alleged to have ‘slit his wife and daughter’s throats’ before two builder neighbours tackled him to the ground as he tried to flee the scene.
Nikoleta was found dead at her family home
Nikoleta’s body was found at the property but her mother was found alive then died a short time later. Police attended the scene in Wessex Road at around 2.45pm on Monday after neighbours reported screams coming from the house.
