A father and his three young sons who were tragically found dead at a home in Surrey have been pictured.
Married father Piotr Świderski, who is believed to be a Polish national, his twin boys and their brother – all under the age of four – were found by an ambulance crew at 1pm yesterday.
Cops have launched an investigation and believe the horrific incident on the residential street is isolated, and do not believe anyone else was involved.
The force referred themselves to the police watchdog as they revealed they had previous contact with the people who have died.
Several mourners have left tributes outside the house, with flowers leaning against the wall of the property today.
Their mother and next of kin are aware and being supported by specialist officers.
