The Nottingham Road Landowners Association says community members are in shock following a brutal double murder in the area.
Roger and Christine Solik were attacked and taken from their home during a robbery at The Bend estate in the Midlands, on Friday.
Christine's body was found in a river near Impendle later that day. Roger's body was found yesterday - a few kilometres away from where his wife's body was recovered.
