Police have charged a teenager with murder after a double fatal stabbing at Toowoomba in south-east Queensland.
The body of a woman and her 12-year-old daughter were found in their Newtown home this morning.
A teenage boy called police from the residence. He was arrested at the scene and questioned by police.
Police say the boy was known to the victims.
"Police believe what has occurred occurred within the house and there's no reason for the public to be concerned," Detective Acting Inspector Paul McCusker said.
Neighbour Wendy Elliss says the neighbourhood is in shock.
"They were nice. Quiet, very quiet. The most they'd say is, 'Hello, how are you?'," she said.
"Lovely little kid, quiet pleasant little girl.
"It's dreadful. I just can't believe it."
