Family of four found dead at home

A family of four have been found dead at their home, Scotland Yard said yesterday. An ambulance crew called to the house in Ashness Gardens, Greenford, west London on Sunday night are receiving counselling.

The bodies of a man and woman, and a boy and girl aged under 10, are believed to have suffered knife wounds. The family has not been formally identified. Detectives think the man killed his family and then himself. Scotland Yard said the deaths are being treated as murder. Post mortems will take place today.
