49-Year old father of two,
Jatindra Lad is suspected of murdering his family in their Bradford home before killing himself. He killed his wife Daksha, 44, and their two children, Trisha, 19, and Nisha, 17, before hanging himself in Blackberry Way, Clayton. West Yorkshire Police have today launched a murder investigation but said they are not looking for anybody else in relation to the deaths. The family was last seen on Friday and worried neighbours called the police last night who gained entry and found the bodies, which may have been there for days.
The parents worked for Bradford City Council while Trisha was studying at the University of Leeds and Nisha had just completed her GCSEs at the local school, it is understood. Post mortems will now be carried out to establish the cause of the deaths.
Neighbours said the family, who moved to the area eight years ago, were 'lovely people' who had been celebrating Diwali before their deaths. Floral tributes were already being left while groups of tearful friends gathered outside the home.
Detective Superintendent
Simon Atkinson, from West Yorkshire Police's Protective Services (Crime), said:
'This is clearly a significant incident and our investigation will be thorough as we piece together the events that have led to the deaths of a local family.
'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.'
