The heartbroken mum whose husband and three young sons were found dead at their home has spoken out following the horror discovery last weekend.
Devastated Angelika Swiderska has remembered her children Dominik, Nikodem and Kacper Swiderski and their dad Piotor after they were pronounced dead on Saturday, August 31
The children, aged three, two and two, and Piotor were named by Police on Tuesday.
Ms Swiderska paid tribute to her “amazing” husband and family in a statement released by the cops, reports the Mirror. She said the three boys were “always happy, active children” and “full of life and happiness” in the heartfelt tribute.
She said: “Piotr was an amazing husband and father to Kacper, Nikodem and Dominik. He loved us with all his heart and would have done anything for us. The children doted on their daddy. Our boys were happy, active children, full of life and happiness. They were always smiling and even when I looked sad, they would say ‘Mummy smile like us’.
“We are grieving for them all and would like to ask for privacy as we try to understand why this tragedy happened. I would like to say a huge thank you to all our community for all the messages of condolence, flowers, cards, and teddy bears and for all the kind words about our family.”
Members of the Staines community where the children were found dead have also paid tribute to the family, with bouquets of flowers laid near the home with messages. One tribute left outside the home on Sunday read: “Rest in peace, little ones. We will always think of you.”
Police are still investigating the deaths, and are yet to carry out formal identification of the young children and their father, or conclude how it was that they died. So far, police have said little else aside from that they believe the deaths were an isolated incident with no third-party involvement.
DCI Gareth Hicks, who is leading the investigation, said: “This is a truly tragic incident and a thorough investigation is underway to establish exactly what happened. We would like to thank the local community for their support and understanding whilst we have been conducting our enquiries. We can also now update that whilst Bremer Road was closed for a significant amount of time yesterday, it has now fully re-opened and there will continue to be a police presence in the area for the foreseeable.”
