A mother and her two-year-old daughter who were found dead in west London in a suspected murder-suicide have been named by police.

Homicide detectives are investigating the deaths of Shiwangi Bagoan, 25, and Ziana Bagoan, but do not believe anyone else was involved.

The pair were pronounced dead at the scene in Old Meadow Lane, Hounslow, after police and paramedics were called to the scene shortly after 4pm on Monday.

“I have never had something like this happen in my life so close to home. It is pretty awful.”

Ms Bagoan reportedly worked as an anaesthetist's assistant for the University College Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
