A father suspected of strangling his own six-year-old daughter before taking his own life in a horror "murder-suicide" has been named locally. ‌

The body of Krzysztof Daczkowski, aged in his 30s, was found alongside his daughter Julia at their home in north Dublin on Saturday night. The alarm was raised when Julia's mother, Aga, returned and made the harrowing discovery. ‌

Neighbours described hearing her "horrific scream" before emergency services - including Dublin Fire Brigade, ambulance crews and gardaí - rushed to the scene around 8pm, reports the Mirror. ‌

Sources indicate that Daczkowski's body was found by the stairs. Investigators do not believe there was any break-in or third-party involvement, and a murder probe is now under way into the deaths.
