A woman found dead alongside her partner has been described as a "darling" who will be "treasured forever".
Katie Higton, 27, who was a mental health nurse, has been named locally as the woman who was found dead at a property in Dalton, Huddersfield, West Yorkshire yesterday.
It's understood that the mum-of-four and her boyfriend Steven Harnett were found by police at 9.53am after suffering serious injuries. A man in his 30s has been arrested on suspicion of murder.
Tributes left at the scene described Katie as an "angel".
One read: "To Katie, RIP my darling we love you no more suffering, remembered always."
A second said: "Katie, I am so sorry for how things have ended I can't believe it."
A third added: "RIP angel, memories forever, treasured forever and never forgotten."
A neighbour of Steven's told the Mirror: "He had a heart of gold. He was always outside his house."
Katie had been out to the cinema the night before while her mum stayed home to watch the kids, locals have told the Mirror.
Neighbours spoke of their shock at the grim incident after emergency services flooded the street yesterday.
One said: "I really can't believe it. This area 20 odd years was unpleasant, but over the last decade or so it's gone really nice.
"I'm shocked, but it makes sense because there was forensic vans, an air ambulance and it was swarming with police yesterday."
Detective Superintendent Marc Bowes of the Homicide and Major Enquiry Team previously said: "This has clearly been an exceptionally serious offence and I can promise residents that a full investigation is ongoing into the murder of this man and woman.
"We are conducting extensive enquiries at the scene and at other locations in the Dalton area as we investigate the circumstances of what took place.
"I am appealing for anyone who saw suspicious activity overnight or this morning at the property on Harpe Inge to contact us.
"Residents in the nearby area will also note an increased police presence on their streets and I want to reassure them and the wider community we are doing all we can to bring persons responsible for this offence to justice."
Anyone who can assist the investigation is asked to contact the Homicide and Major Enquiry Team on 101 referencing police log 408 of 15 May.
Information can also be given anonymously to the independent Crimestoppers charity on 0800 555 111.
