A mother and her two sons who were found dead in a home have been named.
Nadja De Jager, 47, and her two sons, nine-year-old Alexander and seven-year-old Maximus, were found dead yesterday at a home in Mayfield Road, Belvedere.
The Met said it forced entry into the property after concerns were raised for those inside at around 11.50am.
The three family members were pronounced dead at the scene.
Detective Inspector Ollie Stride, investigating, said: “This is a deeply sad case and we are continuing to establish the circumstances that led to this tragic incident.
“I would like to thank the local community for their cooperation while our officers go about their enquiries.
“Our thoughts today are very much with the family as they struggle to come to terms with their loss and we ask that their privacy be respected at this extremely difficult time.”
A statement from the Met said: “Next of kin were notified and they continue to be supported by specialist officers.
“Post mortems will be arranged in due course. The Met’s Specialist Crime Command is leading the investigation.
“Detectives are not actively seeking anyone else in connection with the investigation. A crime scene remains in place.”
