The journalist at PlymouthLive said Mr Martyn “had the kindest heart, would do anything for anybody,” and “you only had to take one look at him to see how much he loved and adored his family”.

“I was always so proud to be able to say you were my cousin,” she added. “The world is going to be a much darker place without you in it.”

In a tribute to Sophie, Ms Morcom said her family had been “truly blessed” to have “seen you grow into such a beautiful, funny and clever girl” over the three years of her life.

“My heart hurts so much thinking about how it should have been so many more. I will miss your cheekiness and your dancing the most.”

Ms Morcom said she would think of the pair “every single day” for the rest of her life, adding: “Our family will never be the same.”

Many tributes for Mr Martyn and his daughter, including flowers, cuddly toys and candles, have been left at locations close to the scene in Keyham.
