Nearby residents have spoken of their shockA man believed to be a former police officer, along with a woman and child, have died after being found injured at a Leicestershire house.
Two other children are in hospital in a serious condition.
Police went to a house on Robin Crescent, Melton Mowbray, on Thursday after an injured 15-year-old reportedly raised the alarm at a nearby school.
They found the two adults, a fatally injured child and a fourth child who was badly hurt.
Police have said they were not looking for anyone else.
The case has been referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission.
Community 'shocked'Malise Graham, leader of Melton Borough Council, said the authority would be offering any help it could.
"Melton is a very close community and it is shocking, made all the more so by the time of year.
"I was at the mayor's carol concert last night and as the news came through you could feel the shock. In this kind of community it affects everyone."
Gary North, who lives nearby, said: "It was a bit worrying really. For a start we didn't know how big it was.
"Apart from it being lots of police you expect them to be done in half an hour - but for them to be around for so long you really worry about what has gone on."
A police cordon remains in place and forensic officers have started examining the scene.
Post-mortem examinations are due to take place later.
