The British police are investigating the case of a quadruple murder of a mother and three children in the town of Killamarsh near Sheffield.
A man was arrested, according to a statement from the police about the crime.
She called on residents to pass on any clues "as insignificant as they may seem."
As various media reports, the victims are a woman and her two children - a 13-year-old boy and an 11-year-old girl - as well as a friend of the daughter who was supposed to stay there overnight.
The siblings' father laid flowers and handwritten letters at the crime scene on Monday.
The background or the course of the acts is so far unclear, the bodies were discovered on Sunday morning.
