''Now their relatives have been informed after detectives north of the border launched a major investigation at a five bedroom property in Troon Avenue, Dundee, on Friday.''
''Police Scotland said relatives were being supported by officers from Avon and Somerset Police as a result of the probe at the plush £250,000 pad.
The English force launched the initial missing person appeal and it was thought the mum had travelled to Dundee.
Locals reacted with shock. One said: “I knew of the people who live there, but they keep themselves to themselves.”
Another added: “It’s quite an affluent area. This is really shocking.”

People who live there? Plural. I was under the impression he lived there alone until Bennylyn joined him. Very interesting.

Possibly a 7 year old survivor. We will know for sure when charges are made.

Seems spot on from what I've read on SM
It actually sounds more sinister than I originally thought...
