Work resumes at garage where dad killed his two daughters

1:34pm Tuesday 23rd September 2008 in News

Work restarted today at the Southampton garage where a dad killed his two children before hanging himself.

Mechanics were busy working on cars while people came by to lay more flowers to the growing tributes left at the murder scene to little Ellie, three, and one-year-old Isobel, smothered by their dad Dave Cass on Sunday night.

Two men who didn't know the family came by to lay flowers after reading of the tragedy in the Daily Echo.

A former work colleague of 33-year-old Cass, driver James Angel, said: "I saw him about a month ago with one of his daughters on his shoulders at Marwell Zoo.

"He seemed like a really good dad, so this has come as a total surprise.

"He seemed happy and it seemed a bit strange that he would do this."

Garage manager John Martin said the caravan where the murder took place has been cleaned and was now covered up.
