"Amazing" dad and three young sons who died in suspected triple murder-suicide recently pictured in Southsea

Piotr Swiderski, 31, died at a house in Bremer Road, Staines-Upon-Thames in Surrey last Saturday along with his three boys Dominik, three, and two-year-old twins Nikodem and Kacper. They were found by the ambulance service around 1pm after neighbours heard piercing screams from the property in a quiet residential road.

Piotr’s wife and the mother of the three boys, Angelika Swiderska, paid tribute to her “amazing husband and father” who was recently pictured at Southsea Castle with his three boys.

Surrey police said formal identification was yet to take place but they were “confident” the four people who died are those named. The force published the picture of the father with his three boys at Southsea Castle.

Today, Ms Swiderska paid tribute to her husband and sons. She said: “Piotr was an amazing husband and father to Kacper, Nikodem and Dominik. He loved us with all his heart and would have done anything for us.  The children doted on their daddy.

“Our boys were happy, active children, full of life and happiness. They were always smiling and even when I looked sad, they would say “Mummy smile like us”.

“We are grieving for them all and would like to ask for privacy as we try to understand why this tragedy happened.

“I would like to say a huge thank you to all our community for all the messages of condolence, flowers, cards, and teddy bears and for all the kind words about our family.”
