Police treating deaths of children in Staines as murder
The three boys were found alongside their father on the 31st of August
The deaths of three children whose bodies were found alongside their dad's at a house in Surrey are being investigated as murder.
Dominik, Nikodem and Kacper Swiderski were discovered next to their father Piotr in Staines on the 31st of August
The boys' mother, Angelika Swiderski, paid tribute to her sons as "happy, active children, full of life and happiness".
The deaths of the children are being investigated as murder by the Surrey Police and Sussex Police Major Crime Team, Surrey Police said.
They added that they are not looking for anyone else in connection with the probe.
The force completed a mandatory referral to the police watchdog, the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC), due to previous police contact with the family, but the IOPC determined earlier this week that an investigation into this previous contact was not required.
Senior Investigating Officer, DCI Kimball Edey said; "I would like to express my sincere condolences to the family of Dominik, Kacper and Nikodem for their loss.
"They will continue to be supported by specialist officers as our investigation continues.
"I would ask that their privacy is respected at what is a tremendously difficult time for them."
Inquests into the death of Mr Swiderski and the three boys will be opened and adjourned on September 10.
