Another neighbour said her son had seen a suitcase being removed from the trailer before the house occupants stood back in shock.On Monday, a member of the family who made the discovery said police had told them not to talk to the media and offered them victim support.
“We won’t say anything because it is under police investigation and we are co-operating with police,” the director said.
