The pair were found at a house in Sible Hedingham on Saturday Post-mortem tests are due to be held on the bodies of a father and his 16-year-old daughter found fatally hurt at a house in Essex, detectives said.
The pair – named locally as Margaret Pierides and Costas Pierides – were discovered at a house in Prayors Hill, Sible Hedingham, on Saturday morning.
Mr Pierides, 48, died at the scene. His daughter was flown to hospital where she later died from her injuries.
Essex police have begun a murder investigation following the discovery.
The results of the post-mortem tests could be revealed later.
Prayers will be said for the family during a service at St Peter’s Church in the morning – just yards from the Pierides’ family home.
A neighbour, who did not want to be named, said the family was popular in the village.
He said Mr Pierides and his wife Bernadette had recently become godparents in a christening held at the local church.
“I had dinner with them recently and Costas and Margaret seemed to be getting on very well,” he said.
“Costas and his wife are good parents – a very nice family.”
The neighbour said the family had about six acres of land surrounding their property.
Mr Pierides was a director of independent ambulance company Door 2 Door – which is based in Tottenham, north London.
On Saturday a police spokesman said: “Police attended a house and found two people with serious injuries.
“The ambulance service and Essex Police gave emergency medical assistance to a 48-year-old man and a 16-year-old young woman at the address.”
Police cordoned off the area surrounding the detached house in the village where they were discovered.
Initial searches have now been completed, police added.
