Cops made the tragic discovery after scrambling to concerns for welfare.
No one else is being sought in connection with the deaths, which it is understood are being treated as a “murder-suicide”.
Back in March, Martina, 40, shared a Facebook post of Eleni at a therapy centre in Liverpool.
She wrote: “For the last few weeks Eleni has been back at her happy place.”
Martina added: “The joy on her face says it all. She really loves rebound therapy.
“When you find a therapy that your child loves and see the benefits of it, the joy of it and the achievement as a parent is priceless.”
Yesterday Detective Chief Inspector Charlotte Whalley said: “The thoughts of the entire investigation team remain with the family of Martina and Eleni.
“It is such a tragic loss of life, and our main priority is keeping their loved ones updated throughout the investigation.
“A cordon remains in place on Radford Street and will remain in place whilst officers work in the area.”
The GMP cop added: “We know there will be some disruption to the local community as a result of our scene.
“But it is so important that we do this, we need to be able to provide their loved ones with the information they need to process this news.
“We thank the public for their patience whilst we investigate and their compassion.
“Flowers can be seen outside the property, showing the amount of support the family have from members of the community.
“We continue to conduct a full and thorough investigation, and at this time we are not actively looking for anyone else in relation to this case.
“We believe that there are no suspicious circumstances and we are working to conclude our investigation and pass a file to the coroner.”
Anyone with information should call cops on 101 quoting log 998 of 23/09/2024.
On Monday, Salford Council said: “We are aware of the terribly sad news this morning.
“Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of those who have tragically lost their lives.
“We’re working closely with GMP and assisting them with their ongoing investigation.
“Our teams will be supporting both local residents and council staff who have no doubt been greatly affected by the events today.”
