Bradford house deaths: Four bodies found

http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-29798404

Four members of the same family have been found dead at a house in Bradford.

Jitendra Lad, 49, his wife Daksha, 44, and their two daughters Trisha, 19, and Nisha, 17, were found at a property on Blackberry Way, Clayton at about 20:30 GMT on Monday, police said.

A murder investigation has been launched but police said they were not looking for anyone else in connection with the deaths.

Officers believe the bodies may have been at the property for some time.

'Very, very sad'

Detectives were called to the house after a neighbour became concerned at not having seen the family for some time.

amshed Malik, who lives next door to the house, said the family who lived there were "a nice couple - a man and his wife and two kids".

"We only saw them on some occasions, not very often. I've known them for about eight years. It's very, very sad."

Flowers and tributes have been left near the property, with one card reading: "So sad. RIP."

A forensic team has been searching the property where the bodies were found

Det Sup Simon Atkinson, of West Yorkshire Police, said: "The investigation is at an early stage, and while I do not want to speculate around the circumstances leading to the deaths I am happy to confirm that we are not looking for anyone else in connection with this incident."

Post-mortem examinations are due to take place.

Clayton is a village with a population of about 15,000 people, three miles to the west of Bradford.

Lorna Leeming, who sits on Clayton Parish Council, said: "It's a very quiet and peaceful village and a good community."

Cause of death?

The forensic team dressed for Ebola patients. I had no idea they dress like that to investigate a crime scene.

Sounds like three murders and a suicide

Sounds like it would qualify as a mass murder. I wonder what they will ban because of this

Acute hypoxia.

That's sad. May they rest in peace.

So what is the current social or hot social topic that makes the death of a family in northern England of interest to people on VJ?

Fishing for something perhaps?

This is from some person in england that bashes the 2nd every day on this forum . Why is our 2nd such an interest to you ?One would think rising seas due to global warming and what it would do to your neighborhood in Whitechapel would be more of a concern.. Than say Miami...

I'm not sure I understand what the 2nd amendment has to do with this story about obscure house deaths in a remote village outside of Bradford.

Usually the 2nd amendment is brought up in threads about guns, of which you've started quite a number. If you don't like the responses from the international audience of this forum in relation to that topic perhaps rethinking your level of involvement might be a good way forward? Regardless, the 2nd amendment has nothing to do with this topic so perhaps we should keep the bait and switch out of it?

What you haven't seen in the UK is some effort to make this into something that it's not. It's about a single family and what may or may not have gone wrong within that family unit. No one is trying to suggest that maybe this is a result of some cultural deficiency that made the family 'un British' or dangerous to have in the community. That's pretty healthy. Some US news agencies might learn something from reading UK media, maybe?

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

Probably not. Its not a good story if there's nothing to shake your fist at.
