Detectives are investigating the death of three people at a house in south London.
Officers were called at 11.50am on Thursday, March 9, over concerns for the welfare of occupants at an address on Mayfield Road, Belvedere. Ambulance services also attended the scene after a 47-year-old woman and two boys, aged nine and seven, were found dead in the property.
According to police, the Met's Specialist Crime Command is leading the investigation and post-mortem examinations will be arranged at a later date. Because the investigation is still in its early stages, detectives have said they are not actively seeking anyone else in connection with the investigation but this could change as the investigation progresses.
A spokesperson for Metropolitan Police said: “Detectives are investigating following the deaths of three people at an address in south London. Police were called at 11.50am on Thursday, 9 March to concerns for the welfare of occupants at an address on Mayfield Road in Belvedere.
“Officers and London Ambulance Service attended. At the scene, a 47-year-old woman and two boys, aged nine and seven, were found deceased inside the property.
