A father and daughter have been stabbed to death in Wood Green.
Police officers and paramedics were called to Mayes Road just after 9.30am on Sunday - November 28 - after concerns were raised for the welfare of someone inside a property.
The father, 61, and daughter, 31, were found unresponsive having suffered stab wounds.
Both were pronounced dead at the scene.
A 52-year-old man - believed to have been known to the victims - was arrested on suspicion of murder shortly afterwards in Cambridgeshire.
He remains in custody.
