A mother, 36 and her three-year-old were reported to be dead “for some time” until their bodies were found in a flat in West London. The father, Kuha Raj Sithamparanathan, 42 was treated by paramedics for stab wounds but was pronounced dead at the scene after Metropolitan police officers forced entry into the house. The family of 3 were nowhere in sight nor heard off for more than two weeks, only to be discovered horrifically dead.
Officers found the dead body of 36-year-old Poorna Kaameshwari Sivaraj and her infant son Kailash Kuha Raj next to one another at their residence in Clayponds Road, Brentford, just before 1 am on Tuesday. Her husband, 42-year-old Kuha Raj Sithamparanathan, was also found dead at the scene with stabbed wounds.
Neighbors at Golden Mile House were indeed in shock following the deaths of the trio. A neighbour, Sheri Diba commented that the family was “very cool” and frequently saw them take their dog for a stroll.
I’ve always seen them in the elevator. They’ve been really helpful. They always greet others and are always seen walking together.
Diba, a mother of one, said she had been living in the building for seven years and described it as a “good neighbourhood,” but said she hadn’t seen the family for a number of months. She remarked the family of 3 were really nice and friendly, and this sudden news of their death really devastates her.
Detective Chief Inspector Simon Harding of Met’s Specialized Crime Command said, “As we’re in the early stages of this investigation, it seems that Poorna and Kailash had been dead for some time. Sadly, their family dog, a Cockapoo breed was also killed in the gruesome incident.
‘This is a murder case, and my team will work closely to ascertain the chain of events that led to the murder and death of Kuha Raj Sithamparanathan and family. Our initial enquiries have shown that Poorna and Kailash have not been seen or heard for some time, maybe since around September 21st.’ – Chief Inspector Simon Harding
The Directorate of Professional Standards reported to the Independent Office for Police Actions suspected that Kuha had injured himself after hearing the police breaking into the house, which sadly led to his death.
The couple have been married since 2015, but according to neighbours, they had been heard screaming at each other in recent months.
