The bodies of Hudson Paterson, nine, and Tasmin Paterson, 31, were discovered by emergency services at the house in Fletchersbridge, Cornwall, on September 7 following concerns for their welfare.
The heartbroken father of a nine-year-old boy found dead alongside his mum in a remote cottage has paid tribute to 'a quiet and cheeky chappy'.
He said: 'The grief we feel for the loss of a son, my son, stepson, nephew, and grandson cannot be understated. Hudson was a quiet but cheeky chappy, who's love for cars was as big as the love for his family and friends. 'I thank those for the messages of love and support, we would appreciate respect and privacy for Hudson and my family during this heartbreaking time.'
News of the death rocked locals in the sedate Cornish village close to Bodmin with locals believing the house was empty having been placed on the market several months earlier when its elderly owner moved into a care home. 'There's never been anything like this before, it's worrying that something like that could happen around here.'
'We normally walk the dogs up every day, we haven't for the last week but prior to that it was empty. We used to speak to the owner all the time but we didn't know anybody was there.
