A mother and her young children were pictured playing together two days before they were killed alongside their father in a suspected murder-suicide.
Chief Superintendent Sean Wilson, policing commander in west London, said at the scene: "I believe we know who they are - four members of the same family - however, urgent enquiries are ongoing to locate and inform their next of kin and it would be inappropriate for me to name them at this time.Forensic investigators arrived at the flat in Hounslow and could be seen gathered around the entrance to the building, with some wearing face masks and gloves.
"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."
