The man was found in the drivers seat and 2 women were found in the back seat.

One of the women is believed to be the girls mother.

The 4th victim was a cyclist.

He is presumed to be a victim and was accompanied by two women and two little girls. We can assume it’s a family although it is yet to be proved”.
He added “We have been taking evidence, including DNA, which will be sent to the British authorities for confirmation”.

Another girl was rushed to hospital with gunshot wounds.
