A church has opened its doors for mourners to pay their respects to a pensioner and their daughter who were killed over the weekend.

Margaret Harris, 78, and her 55-year-old daughter Sharon were found dead at their home in Carpenters Lane, Hadlow, on Saturday morning.

A third person, named as Margaret's husband David Harris, who is in his 70s, was taken to a London hospital for treatment, and police launched a murder probe into the incident.
