I hope there are no children involved. Carbon monoxide accident or murder suicide?

I wonder who called the police and why? Maybe a neighbour heard something going on in the house.

• Police were called to the property shortly before 7am following a call from a member of the public.
• Police forced entry into the property and found the bodies of four people inside.

Also:
"Neighbours say a man from the house was reported missing just before Christmas.

One resident said a drone circled the area at the time and also flew over the nearby woods.

The man was later found walking along the Fairway near Allan Bedford Crescent."

From @AliceInPain's link:

Detective Chief Inspector Chris Burgess has confirmed that a man, aged 45, and woman, aged 36, and two young children, both girls, were found at the address.

Detective Burgess said that police are aware of a weapon being found near the property.

He said police do not believe it is connected to the incident at this time but they are keeping an open mind as the investigation continues.

He said: "Locals say a knife was found in a woodland area near the house where the four bodies were found.

"Police have not yet said whether it is linked and are forensically investigating the knife to see if it is related."

I am suspecting a murder suicide here, with the potential of a mental health issue leading up to this (considering the earlier disappearance reported). So sad, especially with young children.

A neighbour told the BBC that she knew the family in passing as their children went to school together.

“I only met them sometimes in the street because my son and her kids go to the same school, so we met sometimes in school or in the street and said ‘hello’.”


Officers were called to the same house in December as part of a missing persons inquiry and they will now look back on that incident.

As police announce they will be staying at the scene for some time, this is what we know about the four deaths in Costessey.

Four people, including two young girls, all thought to be from the same family, were found dead in a house earlier

Police forced entry to a house in Allan Bedford Crescent at about 07:15 GMT after a neighbour reported their concern for the welfare of the family

Once inside, officers discovered the bodies of a man aged 45, a woman aged 36 and two young girls

All of those who died had injuries

The man and two girls lived at the house and the woman was "visiting", police have said

Post-mortem examinations will be held to establish the cause of death

Officers previously visited the address on 14 December as part of a missing persons inquiry

Police believe this to be an "isolated" incident

A knife found in nearby woods is not believed to be connected to the deaths and police are not looking at other locations

People have been urged not to speculate about the circumstances of the deaths

The local community has spoken of "shock" at the "tragic" news

Police are appealing for anyone who was in the area earlier this morning to contact them

Isolated makes me think they're thinking murder-suicide.

What a waste. Two kids with their whole lives ahead of them. I can't tell you how angry these cases make me.

MOO

The woman was the sister-in-law.
A neighbour said "Police were knocking and asking if anyone heard anything between 5am and 8am", so maybe the wife went to work at 5?

What a tragedy!

The name and surname Bartłomiej Kuczyński are Polish.

RIP to all

Log into Facebook
Bartlomiej's FB. The sister-in-law has commented on some pictures. Appears she was visiting from Thailand.

It's interesting to me that the police were alerted to the situation by a member of the public, but they had to force entry. That suggests the member of the public was not a key-carrying member of the household.

MOO
