Three year old boy and 11 year old girl among four found dead by police in London home

Officers attended the scene after receiving a call over concerns for the occupants in the property.

The police found the four dead bodies after forcing their way into the home.

The two children were found with a man and woman thought to be in their 30s. All are thought to be related.

Chief Superintendent Sean Wilson, local policing commander in west London, said: “Our investigation is at a very early stage, and based on our initial inquiries, 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.”

While police are thought to know the identity of the four people found, formal identification is yet to have taken place.

Officers are in the process of informing next of kin.

The Met's investigation is being led by homicide detectives from Specialist Crime.
