Man and three toddlers found dead in Staines were related
Three children and a man found dead at a house in Surrey were all related, police said today.
Giving an update on the tragic discovery in Staines yesterday, police said they believe it to be ‘an isolated incident with no third-party involvement’.
The children found at the house in Spelthorne shortly after 1pm yesterday were all aged under four, and are thought to be twins and their slightly older brother.
Neighbours said they believed a young Polish family lived at the house, and that the three children were all boys.
Surrey Police have referred themselves to the Independent Office for Police Conduct due to previous police contact with those involved in August last year.
