A family of four, including a three-year-old boy and an 11-year-old girl, found dead at a flat in west London on Friday have been named and pictured, as police launched a homicide probe.
The bodies of Michal Wlodarczyk, 39, Monika Wlodarczyk, 35, Maja Wlodarczyk, 11, and Dawid Wlodarczyk, 3, were discovered at their home in Hounslow just after 3pm.
Metropolitan Police officers forced their way into the property on Staines Road, Bedfont, having been called to concerns about the family, who were Polish, according to neighbours.
A tearful mother said her daughter was in year six with Maja at nearby Southville primary school.
Maria Gouveia, 37, said: “It’s tragic, her parents were really good people, hard workers, the mother was a cleaner in a hotel, I think the father was a builder.
“Maja was a lovely, beautiful girl, with a strong personality, but she had not been in school for a few days.
“It’s shocking, the little boy was so sweet, he was going to start nursery in a few months, we are praying for them.”
Police are not currently seeking anybody else in connection with the incident.
