A horrified 13-year-old boy came home from school to find both his parents knifed to death.
Nile Daniel ran out of the terraced house shaking and in tears after stumbling on the nightmare scene.
Police believe his father Sandy Daniel, who was separated from the teenager's mother Fiona Newton, stabbed her in a frenzied attack before slashing his own throat.
Baffling: Sandy Daniel is thought to have stabbed ex-partner Fiona Newton then cut his own throat - though neighbours said their separation seemed amicable
Their relationship is said to have ended amicably around four years ago with Mr Daniel, 44, remaining a regular visitor.
It is not known if either of them had embarked on a new relationship after they parted.
Neighbours yesterday remembered both the former binman and Miss Newton - a trainee care worker aged 39, who was nicknamed Fluff - as kind, gentle and good-natured.
Traumatised Nile and his brother Jordan, 18, are being cared for by relatives after the discovery in Broxtowe, Nottingham, on Tuesday.
Neighbour Louise Burrell, 36, said: 'He was stood outside the house in his school uniform, shaking and sobbing.
'People were doing their best to comfort him before the police arrived and drove him away.
'This is a genuine shock. It's a quiet street where almost nothing seems to happen.'
Family friend Cathy Power, who laid flowers at the house yesterday, said: 'I've known Sandy since I was young as we grew up together.

'He's going to be really missed. He'd help anyone out and he was always out on his bike in the street telling jokes.
'Him and Fiona loved each other to bits. Everyone's shocked.'
Another neighbour said: 'They used to live together but over the last three or four years they've lived apart. Even then Sandy lived close by.
'He was a very normal man, very friendly with everyone. Although they no longer lived under the same roof he visited on a very regular basis.'
Detectives are today trying to piece together the final hours of the couple - who lived in separate houses in the same street in Broxstowe, Nottingham - to establish what sparked the apparent murder-suicide.
Stunned neighbours said that the couple, who had two sons, had shown every sign of achieving an amicable separation.
Police and paramedics were called but both Ms Newton and Mr Daniel were pronounced dead at the scene.
Seconds after finding the bodies the schoolboy ran out into the street weeping uncontrollably.
As flowers were laid at the scene, their parents' bodies remained inside the house for most of the day while forensic scientists continued their investigations.
A Nottinghamshire Police spokesman said a post-mortem would probably be carried out today.
A patrol car was parked outside a second property in the street, believed to be Mr Daniel's, while an officer stood guard outside the front gate.
Earlier a police van arrived at the house and an officer used a ladder to get in through an upstairs window, before letting in colleagues through a downstairs window.
Neighbour Munetsi Mandere , 47, said: 'To me, as neighbours they looked like a very decent family.
'They had two extremely wonderful boys, and the mother looked to be very hard-working. The dad was more private, but all the same very gentle.
'I remember when we came here, they had prepared a food package to welcome us as neighbours.
'It is so tragic when it is something so close to home that has happened without any sign of a problem.'
Mr Daniel is believed to have been born in the area and to have been educated at the local comprehensive.
One neighbour, Dennis Leatherland, 64, said: 'He was a buddy of mine and was a decent man. I spoke to him on Monday and he seemed to be fine to me.
'I'm a bit shocked by it all. He would talk to anyone in the street and was a good bloke. He used to even put out everyone's bins in the morning. He was a good personality around here.'
Acting Chief Inspector Will Chell, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: 'We are treating the deaths as suspicious.
'However officers are confining their investigation into what happened to this one address.
'The family are grieving, but are dealing with this tragedy in the best possible way they can'.
