My money is on the two women being related, the man is an ex who has lost the plot, stabbed them before suicide by driving into something solid.
All very sad
Looks like you may be correct unfortunately. Mum stabbed at the hospital and daughter stabbed in the street...All very sad

The 15 year age gap between mother and daughter was a bit surprising
I was thinking what a poor life it must be to be a teenage mum and then be murdered at 39. I see there has been no mention of their jobs, but reading between the lines sounds like the mother may have been a domestic assistant of sorts (If she had been a Nurse, I am sure we would have been told) and the daughter worked in a fast food shop, as there is nothing else open in that area of town at the moment.
Dreadful.
One thing not mentioned so far is that the hospital is only a few miles away from Nippie's home town of Dreghorn, I thought she would have had a lot more to say.

What is the point you're trying to make about the two dead women's jobs?
Just pointing out that they were 2 normal women, like most, going about their daily business in these tough times. (Being unemployed for 7 months because of this s
t makes me appreciate how hard things are)Hope I did not offend.
