According to detectives, there is no need to search for anyone else in connection with the tragic discovery of Martina and her daughter Elani's bodies. The two were found deceased in their home, and a neighbor has revealed that Martina was a devoted and loving mother to her eight-year-old daughter who had severe disabilities.
The mother and daughter were found on Monday morning in their residence on South Radford Street, Salford. While their identities have not yet been officially confirmed by the Greater Manchester Police, a neighbor has shared that they lived alone and that the mother's name was Martina. She also mentioned that Martina was of half-Polish and half-Italian descent and had been residing in the neighborhood for about two years.
Martina was a stay-at-home mom who dedicated her time and energy to taking care of Elani, as revealed by the neighbor who preferred to remain anonymous. She mentioned that Martina did not have a job and could often be seen walking with her daughter, who used a walking frame, up and down the street. The little girl had to take a special bus to school every day due to her disabilities.
The neighbor also described Martina as a reserved individual who kept to herself most of the time. When the police arrived at the house with flashing lights, she went downstairs to see what was happening. A policewoman then approached her and inquired if she had seen Martina. Shortly after, the fire brigade arrived and entered the house from the back, breaking a window. The neighbor and others were asked to go back inside their homes.
The neighbor last saw Martina on Friday, taking out the trash and mowing the lawn. She shared that Martina would usually greet people and have conversations with them, but her mood would often change, and she would sometimes ignore them. Another neighbor mentioned that she had once asked Martina about Elani's father, but Martina had mentioned that they were not in contact.
As news of the tragedy spread, the community came together to show their support. Two neighbors went around the neighborhood, collecting donations to buy flowers, while others left floral tributes and a teddy bear outside the house. The area was cordoned off by the police, and a single officer was stationed there. The police have informed the next of kin and are providing them with the necessary support.
The Greater Manchester Police have appealed for any information regarding this heartbreaking incident. Meanwhile, a spokesperson for Salford City Council expressed their condolences to the family and friends and assured that they are assisting the police in their investigation. They also mentioned that the council will be providing support to the local residents and staff who have been affected by this tragedy.
