A DAD is feared to have killed his three sons before taking his own life after they were all found dead in their home.

The bodies of Piotr ŚSwiderski and the children, described by one neighbour as “angelic”, were found on Saturday.

The eldest boy is understood to have been three, while his younger brothers were two-year-old twins.

The grim discovery was made shortly after 1pm by an ambulance crew, who then called police to the semi-detached home in Staines, Surrey.

Police say the incident is isolated and they are not looking for anyone else, sparking fears that tyre-fitter Piotr, believed to be a Polish national, killed his own children.

The boys’ mum was being supported by specialist officers yesterday.

The force has referred itself to the police watchdog over previous contact with the family in August last year.

Neighbour Mike Cresswell, 68, said of Piotr: “He seemed like a lovely guy but you couldn’t get to speak to him because he was always so stressed.

“They were a beautiful family.

“The kids were well loved and well looked after.”

Another neighbour, 55, said the boys were “angelic” and always looked “happy as larry”, adding: “The kids were always laughing and happy.”
