Yesterday, police said that two young sisters had died after their bodies were found with their dad and aunt.
Bartlomiej Kuczynski, 45, his daughters Jasmin, 12, and Natasha, eight, and the girls’ aunt Kanticha Noon, 36, were found dead at their home in Costessey, Norwich on Friday.
Norfolk Police said on Sunday that both Bartlomiej and Kanticha had been stabbed in the neck and died.
And post mortem examinations were undertaken on the young girls today, tragically revealing they died the same way.
The deaths of Jasmin, Natasha, and Kanticha are thought to be a “murder-suicide.”
Police said that Bartlomiej’s death was not being looked into as suspicious and that they are not looking for anyone else in connection with the deaths.
It came after mystery deepened surrounding the deaths – with more details of the dad’s mental health assessment emerging.
Floral tributes and two unicorn toys have been left a short distance from the house on the quiet residential street – with more being added each day.
They are outside the police cordon, and the house where the horrible events happened is still taped off.
In a heartbreaking tribute, it said, “Jasmine, you were such a kind and sweet girl. You and your sister didn’t deserve to die.”
“You would always be smiling in primary school. “Fly high, pretty girls.”
Another person penned: “You will be missed. I’m sorry for the family member who is going through it. I’m sorry, Jasmin.
Detective Chief Inspector Chris Burgess, who is in charge of the investigation, said today, “We know how shocking this event is for everyone involved and for the community as a whole, and we hope that this latest information adds to the sadness.”
“Our thoughts are with the family of those found at the property grieving such a traumatic loss.
“We want to thank the people in the area for their help, and we will keep patrolling the area to reassure people.”
“A cordon will stay in place at the address until we finish our thorough investigation of the scene.”
Jasmine, you were a nice, caring girl. You and your sister didn’t deserve to die.
Cops confirmed they have referred themselves to the police watchdog, after not responding to a call to the home earlier that morning.
Police said that the house had called 911 not long before the bodies were found.
It was confirmed by sources that Mr. Kuczynski was the one who called at 6 a.m. and police didn’t send anyone to answer it.
However, police weren’t called until they got a second call from a citizen just before 7am.
Providing details on the phone call, Charmaine Arbouin, IOPC regional director, said: “Norfolk Constabulary established that the man had made a 999 call to the force shortly before 6am on 19 January.
“During that call, the man said he was worried about his own mental health and that he was confused.”
“He was told to see a doctor, and the police did not show up.”
“Roughly 7 a.m., the police got a call from a dog walker who was worried about the people living in the house.”
“Officers attended shortly after and, tragically, found the man, a woman and two children dead.”
The Norfolk Police also said they would look into whether or not the contact their officers had with the man was “appropriate and in line with force policy, training and procedures.”
It also reported itself to the watchdog for going to the house on December 14 to look for a missing person.
He was later found near his home and taken to the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital to be checked out for mental health issues.
But it turns out the dad left before any tests could be done. The hospital is now giving out more information about his visit.
Eastern Daily Press reports that NNUH did a full review, but the hospital does not offer mental health services.
“We can confirm that the patient was taken to the emergency room by police on December 14,” a spokesman said.
“The patient was found to have mental capacity after a full clinical assessment. He left the unit before being reviewed again by the team.”
Recently, it came to light that the girls’ mother was working as a caretaker when the four were found. This is what Kanticha’s best friend Naty Wathanakul said.
She said that the aunt had come to the UK on December 27 and was thought to be leaving next month.
Kanticha ran the kids’ clothing store Malishop with her sister in the UK.
She was a “caring” woman, Naty told The Mirror. “She loved her nieces, I always saw pictures of them together.”
“She is a single woman, no boyfriend, no husband, that’s why she spent most of her time with those lovely girls.”
