Today (June 1) marks one year since the double murder of a mother and daughter in Salisbury, Aneta and Nikoleta Zdun.

Residents have gathered at the pair’s memorial bench in Queen Elizabeth Gardens today for a special service, to pay tribute to the former Wessex Care worker and the Wiltshire College student.

Canon Kelvin Inglis, Rector of St Thomas's, is leading today’s ceremony, which is also being attended by mayor of Salisbury Caroline Corbin and the Bishop of Salisbury, the Rt Revd Nicholas Holtam, as well as friends, neighbours and members of the emergency services.

Marcin Zdun, 40, was found guilty of the murder of his wife and teenage daughter on December 17, 2020, following a two-week trial at Winchester Crown Court, and was jailed for life.

A judge told him he would serve a minimum of 34 years behind bars.

More pictures and reports on the service to follow.
