Detective Chief Inspector Martin Holvey, of the East Midlands Special Operations Unit, said post-mortem examinations had not yet taken place to determine the cause of their deaths.

He added: "I still need to speak to anyone with any information that might be relevant from Dawson Avenue from around noon on Wednesday April 13 to noon on Friday April 15.

"If you saw or heard anything that you thought was suspicious or unusual I'd encourage you to get in touch as soon as possible."

Relatives of the victims paid tribute on social media sites - with a teenage friend of Katie describing her as being "like a sister" and Ms Edwards as a second mother.

Ms Edwards's partner, Graham Green, wrote on his Facebook page: "My babe has gone but you will always in my heart forever and ever and ever.

"The lady meant the world to me she was my rock. Katie so young lots of good times in front of us been taken away r.i.p."
