Tragedy at flats as boy, three, dies with two adults

THREE PEOPLE, including a three- year- old boy, have died at a home in Brentford, west London.

The toddler and a woman aged in her 30s were found dead at a home in Clayponds Lane shortly before 1am yesterday, the Metropolitan Police said.

They also found a man, believed to be in his 40s, who had suffered stab injuries.

He was treated by paramedics but pronounced dead at the scene.

Police said the child and two adults were known to each other and they are not looking for anyone else in connection with the deaths.

They are working to inform relatives.

Anyone with information can call police on 101.

A resident of Golden Mile House said police had knocked on their door and told them the incident involved a family.

The 29- year- old, who has lived in the building for a couple of years, said he did not know them but described the news as shocking.

He said: “It’s definitely shocking and to just find out through police knocking on your door.

“They just said that a family had been found and wanted to check if we knew them or not.”

He added: “This kind of news is not something you expect, it’s a very quiet and peaceful area.”

Another resident, Sheri Diba, said she had since been told by police that the family were a couple and their child who she used to see regularly taking their dog for walks.

The mother- of- one said: “I’ve always seen them in the lift. They were very friendly. They said ‘ Hi, how are you?’ I always saw them together going for walks.”
