Hunt for double murder suspect is stepped up

THE hunt for a “dangerous” man suspected of murdering his partner and baby daughter was stepped up yesterday.

Hampshire Police said murder suspect Anthony Marsh, 21, should not be approached. He has been missing since the bodies of girlfriend Stephanie Bellinger, 24, and eight-month-old Lily were found at their home in Totton, near Southampton.

A relative discovered their bodies at the semi-detached home at the end of a cul-de-sac just before 9am on Saturday.

A family friend of Marsh said he was prescribed medication for depression.

Search teams have been looking around the couple’s property for a murder weapon.
