Police are facing an inquiry over their contact with a mother and a young girl found dead in their home - as neighbours say officers should have acted sooner.
Detectives have admitted that, for two years, they were aware of a number of incidents involving the victims, Christine Chambers, 38, and her two-year-old daughter Shania.
