A mother has spoken of her "devastating loss" after the body of a man and baby boy were found in a flat in Hampshire.

Robert Tamar, 48, and his 15-month-old son, Nathan, were discovered by police officers in Fivefields Close, Highcliffe, Winchester, on Thursday.

Post-mortem tests have revealed the pair died from multiple stab wounds.

In a statement Rachel Jones said Nathan was "a very happy little boy, very contented and always smiling and cheeky".

She added: "Everybody loved him and no-one had a bad word to say about him.

"I am devastated by his loss and he will be very much missed."

A woman arrested over the deaths has been released without charge.

I understand there was some kind of dispute Steve France-Sargeant, Hampshire Constabulary

Ch Insp Steve France-Sargeant, of Hampshire Constabulary, said: "The community needs to be reassured that we aren't looking for anyone else.

"Their support with our house-to-house inquiries as they are ongoing at the moment would be much appreciated.

"I understand there was some kind of dispute, but I can't say any more than that, at the moment that's the information that I have."

Neighbours described Robert Tamar as "friendly and jolly"

Neighbour Avril Elms, 48, said Mr Tamar lived in the flat with his partner and their young son and described the family as "friendly, jolly, a good laugh, good friends".

"I can't believe it. I feel for the baby and him. I hardly slept at all. It does play on your mind," Mrs Elms added.

Her husband Stephen, 49, said: "We were friends with them, shared birthdays, dinners. As far as I know they were happy together. I didn't see anything out of the ordinary."
