Police have released few details on the apparent slaying of a woman and child whose bodies were discovered Friday in their east Fort Worth dwelling.
The victims, who lived in the 200 block of Shady Lane, are believed to be a mother and her fourth-grade daughter. Their cause of death was not immediately released.
The woman's two other children, both 4, were not home when the bodies were found and are now in protective custody, police said.
No arrests had been made as of Friday afternoon.
Firefighters discovered the two bodies in a second-floor condominium after a family member called 911 about 12:30 p.m., said Sgt. Cris Britt, police spokesman.
Homicide detectives took over and have been interviewing neighbors and potential witnesses.
A neighbor whose grandchildren played with the victim's children said the mother was in her 30s.
Neighbors said the woman's sister went to the home and found the bodies after she was unable to reach her sister by phone, CBS 11 reported.
