Radford: Review after ‘shocking’ deaths of mum and daughter

Other people in Radford told the BBC the deaths have had a big impact on the community.

Amanda Dawson, head teacher at nearby Mellors Primary School said: “I felt deep sadness that there were a couple of people that were nameless and faceless and didn’t appear to matter to anybody.

“It shouldn’t happen here. We were absolutely devastated because it’s part of our community.”

Taxi driver Hassan Khalifa said he had often driven the daughter to school and described her mother as “very quiet” and “very friendly”.

“I never heard any complaint from her. I didn’t see anything strange. [I was] very shocked, really very shocked,” he said.

The owner of a nearby butcher, who did not want to be named, said the mother was a regular customer.

“[It is] so sad. I would have helped if I’d known,” they said.

“She was bubbly at first, but sometimes other customers would buy groceries for her. If I knew, I could have helped.”
