Police have found the bodies of a mum and her two young sons after forcing entry into their family home. Nadja De Jager, 47, and her two sons Alexander, nine, and Maximus, seven, were found by officers at the property in Belvedere, South East London, last night.
Emergency services, including paramedics, were called to the scene at around 11.50pm following reports of concern for the trio’s welfare, the Mirror reports. Detectives are not actively seeking anyone else in connection with the investigation as neighbours spoke of the devastation in their "close-knit community".
The property remains sealed off by investigators, as the driveway, which has a grey Mitsubishi pick-up truck parked on it, was scattered with children's toys including a mini basketball net and multi-coloured sand toys. Shocked neighbours have spoken of their horror following the tragic incident.
