The bodies of four people have been found in west London, including two children. A Met Police investigation is under way, though investigatirs say they are not currently seeking anyone else in connection with the incident.

Police believe the remains found in a flat in Bedfont, Hounslow, are those of a man and woman in their 30s, an 11-year-old girl and a three year-old boy.

There they found the bodies of four people, who are thought to have been related. Whilst formal identification is yet to take place, they are believed to be Michal Wlodarczyk, aged 39, Monika Wlodarczyk, aged 35, Maja Wlodarczyk, aged 11, and Dawid Wlodarczyk, aged three.

The Met Police says enquiries are under way in respect of formal identification and informing next of kin. The investigation is led by homicide detectives from Specialist Crime.

Chief Superintendent Sean Wilson, local policing commander in west London, said: “Our investigation is at a very early stage, and based on our initial enquiries, we are not currently seeking anybody else in connection with the incident. I know the shock and distress that this terrible incident will cause among the community in Hounslow and beyond. I can assure local people that specialist officers are working to establish exactly what happened and I will provide further information as soon as I can.

“I am also aware that this incident will be particularly upsetting for children, and I ask people to please be responsible about what they post on social media, including not naming or speculating as to the names of those who’ve died. There will be additional police officers in the area across the weekend, I urge anyone with information or concerns to speak with those officers.”

Anyone with information that can assist the investigation is asked to call 101, quoting reference 5135/16Jun.
