Giselle is originally from Columbia, and arrived in Northern Ireland around four years ago.

Allison, meanwhile, was born in Spain and his lived in the North since 2017.

The 15-year-old attended Newry High School, with police saying their thoughts are with the teachers and pupils who knew her.

According to the PSNI, it's believed the woman and teenager were still alive in the early hours of Sunday morning.

However, family members had not been able to contact them since then.

Efforts are continuing to find out exactly what happened in their home.

Police have said they're not looking for anyone else as part of the murder investigation.

In a statement today, Detective Superintendent Jason Murphy said post-mortem examinations are currently underway.

He explained: "I do not yet have any preliminary or definitive causes of death, and I do not intend to speculate about that today. I would expect the post mortem results to be available to us in the coming days.

"While our investigation remains at an early stage, there is no evidence at this time that anyone else was involved."

Detectives in the North are calling on anybody who spoke with Giselle or Alison since last Friday to contact them.
