Well-wishers including some crying girls left flowers in their memory beside the police cordon outside their semi-detached home.
Neighbour Jocelyn Atienza said: “It is just awful. The two girls were lovely sisters and beautiful girls.
“They were nice girls who were a little shy. We used to see them walking around together.

“Their mother was friendly and we always used to say hi hello to each other in the street.”

She told “she was just a lovely, lovely kid” and that the incident had come as an “absolute shock” to the local community.
She said that it was a tight-knit community and even if you didn’t know someone directly, you saw each other through the children or from dog walking.
Speaking anonymously to Sky News, a boy who knew Jasmine said: “We grew up together. She never held a grudge, she was always kind and caring to everyone.”
