19 June 2023 15:30 UPDATE: Homicide investigation into deaths in Bedfont Detectives are treating the death of Monika Wlodarczyk as murder.

Detectives investigating an incident in which the bodies of four people were found at a flat in Bedfont are treating the death of Monika Wlodarczyk as murder.

The first two post-mortem examinations were held at Fulham Mortuary on Sunday, 18 June. Cause of death for Monika Wlodarczyk was given as multiple sharp force injuries.

Cause of death for Michal Wlodarczyk was given as sharp force injuries to the neck. We are not able to provide further details as to the circumstances of his death at this stage.

Post-mortem examinations for Maja Wlodarczyk, aged 11, and Dawid Wlodarczyk, aged three, will commence on Wednesday, 21 June, at Great Ormond Street Hospital.

It is not yet known on which date the four people died. Police were called by Maja’s school at 15:12hrs on Friday, 16 June, since they and her friends were concerned that she had not attended school since Monday, 12 June, and family members had not replied to messages.

Officers forced entry to the family home – a flat in Staines Road, Bedfont – a short time later, where the four bodies were found.

Inquests will open and adjourn on Tuesday, 20 June, at West London Coroner’s Court.

The Met’s investigation is led by homicide detectives from the Specialist Crime Command.

Detective Chief Inspector Linda Bradley, who is leading the investigation, said: “I would like to assure the community that specialist detectives continue to investigate the circumstances which led to this tragic incident and I will continue to provide further updates as soon as appropriate. We are also continuing to support family members at this unimaginably difficult time.

“The situation remains that we are not currently seeking anybody else in connection with the incident.

“We are however retaining an open mind, and I would ask anyone who feels they have pertinent information to contact us as soon as possible.

“Officers remain at the location and forensic examination of the flat is ongoing.”

Anyone with information that may assist the investigation is asked to call 101, quoting reference 5135/16Jun. Alternatively please provide information via the online form at:
