A woman who lived near the dairy said its owners were due to go to Dubai on Saturday for their son’s wedding. They were a lovely family, the woman – who did not want to be named – said.<\/p>\n
She said the family had been running it for a long time.<\/p>\n
“My daughter was home alone and I came home from work and drove my car into the garage, and I saw a policeman with a big gun on the corner,” she said.<\/p>\n
“I was worried obviously for my daughter, she didn’t hear it.”<\/p>\n
The woman said it was “a really sad thing”.<\/p>\n
An increased police presence will remain in the area while an investigation is underway.<\/p>\n
Anyone with any information is asked to contact the police.<\/p>\n
