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.
Today, St Mary's Church in the village is welcoming friends and neighbours of the victims to light a candle and say prayers.
Vicar Paul White will be available to speak to mourners all day until around 6pm.
Jack Ralph, 28, appeared before magistrates this morning, charged with two counts of murder and another of attempted murder.
He will next appear at Maidstone Crown Court on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, neighbours on the road have left floral tributes to the victims, described as a quiet family who "kept themselves to themselves".
