Police are investigating the death of a woman and a girl in West London.

The Metropolitan Police said officers were called along with paramedics to an address in Old Meadow Lane, Hounslow, soon after 4pm on Monday.

A 25-year-old woman and a two-year-old girl who was related to her were pronounced dead at the scene.

At this stage, police believe no one else was involved in the incident.

"An investigation is underway led by detectives from the Met's Specialist Crime Command (Homicide)," the Met said in a statement.

"While the investigation is still in its early stages, officers do not currently believe anyone else was involved in this incident."
