A mum found dead alongside her husband and two children was murdered, cops believe.
Three-year-old Dawid Wlodarczyk and 11-year-old sister Maja were discovered along with their parents Michal and Monika when officers forced their way into their flat on Friday after getting concerned calls.
The first two post-mortem examinations were held at Fulham Mortuary on Sunday with Monika's cause of death given as multiple sharp force injuries.
Police say Michal's cause of death was sharp force injuries to the neck, but are unable to provide further details at this stage.
Post-mortem examinations for Maja and Dawid will take place on Wednesday 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 3.12pm on Friday, June 16, since they and her friends were concerned that she had not attended 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.
Builder Michal, 39, and cleaner Monika, 35, bought the top-floor flat in Bedfont, Hounslow, for £230,000 in October 2018.
Heartbroken Maria Gouveia arrived at the scene with her daughter, who went to school with Maja. Maria, 37, said: “Maja hasn’t been at school since Tuesday or Wednesday. She hasn’t responded to any texts. When I saw the news this morning and I saw this street, it just hit me and I just start crying.”
She described Monika as “really lovely” and Maja as a “nice girl” who was “strong-minded” and “very smart” with “a beautiful smile”.
Maria added her daughter was recently at a sleepover to celebrate Maja’s 11th birthday.
Naura Hooper, 46, whose daughter was also one of Maja’s schoolfriends, said the youngster was “happy and bubbly, very intelligent, mature for an 11-year-old”.
