Four members from the same family have been found dead in an apparent murder at a house in Bradford.

The deceased are confirmed to be Jitendra Lad, 49, his wife Daksha, 44, and their two daughters Trisha, 19, and Nisha, 17.

Police believe that the bodies may have been in the property on Blackberry Way, Clayton for 'some time' before their discovery on Monday night.

The police were first alerted after a neighbour became worried after not seeing them for more than a few days.

A next door neighbour was quoted by the BBC saying that they were "a nice couple - a man and his wife and two kids".

"We only saw them on some occasions, not very often. I've known them for about eight years. It's very, very sad."

Detective Superintendent Simon Atkinson, of West Yorkshire Police, said: "The investigation is at an early stage, and while I do not want to speculate around the circumstances leading to the deaths I am happy to confirm that we are not looking for anyone else in connection with this incident."
