Two children who were found dead with their parents at a flat in Hounslow had suffered multiple stab injuries and a knife wound to the heart, police say.
The deaths of Maja Wlodarczyk, 11, her brother Dawid Wlodarczyk, three, and their mother Monika Wlodarczyk, 35, are being treated as murder.
The family was found dead along with Monika’s partner Michal Wlodarczyk, 39, at the flat in Staines Road, Bedfont, on June 16, after Maja’s school called police when she had not attended since June 12 and the family had not replied to messages.
Post-mortem examinations have been carried out and the cause of death for Monika Wlodarczyk was given as multiple sharp force injuries.
