Police are investigating the circumstances of their deaths.
A resident, who didn’t want to be named, told the Ipswich Star the deaths had left them ‘shaken up’.
They said: ‘You don’t expect to come downstairs and have all this happening outside.
‘It’s usually very quiet around here. I’ve been here a long time and normally it’s fine.
‘We all talk to each other and get on.’
Local councillor Elizabeth Harsant said patrols will be deployed to reassure residents
Debbie Moran who lives near the property added to the newspaper: ‘I live just nearby, it’s quite scary that it happened so near. It’s just awful to think of it.
‘How people must feel if they had seen it. It’s usually very quiet around here – I’ve walked around at 12pm at night and felt safe. I may think twice about that now.
‘It makes me feel more scared about the area. I don’t feel it’s safe for the kids to go out, plus this has happened in broad daylight. It’s really sad it’s happened.’
Local councillor Elizabeth Harsant said patrols will be deployed to reassure residents.
