On Sunday morning, January 21, the house remained cordoned off and police were still at the scene.
Doreen Cox, 69, who lives across the road, said: "I could barely sleep last night thinking about it.
"It's just a mystery what happened over there."
She has lived on Princes Road for 21 years after moving there with her father and daughter.
"My dad died 10 years ago. Since he died I have not felt safe here," she said.
"People are always selling drugs in the back alleys."
She said she wants to move away from the area.
"I just don't like it. The sooner I can get out of here, the better."
One of the properties on the road is the former Dovedale residential home which, like other buildings, has been converted into houses of multiple occupation (HMOs).
"It was different before. All the neighbour knew each other. But started changing about 15 years ago," Ms Cox said.
"There is a difference in atmosphere this morning, because people normally come out and talk."
Jackie Hughes, 67, said: "It's just awful."
She said the area "seems to be going downhill".
"There's always police up this way, on this road," she said.
Another neighbour, a 37-year-old man who did not want to be named, said: "The house had lots of rowing going on. The police were there at least once a week."
Carl O'Brien, 55, who has lived on the road for two years, said: "It's not nice knowing that has happened on your doorstep.
"At the end of the day, you don't know what happens behind closed doors," he said.
