Scotland Yard, which is probing the circumstances around the “unexplained” death of an Indian-origin lab technician and her two daughters here, fear the use of a “poisonous gas concoction” that could have been made by the mother herself.
“Officers remain at the scene of the house and inquiries continue to establish the full circumstances. We are awaiting a post-mortem, which will take place in due course,” a Metropolitan police spokesperson said.
Heena Solanki, 34, and daughters Jasmine, 9, and sister Prisha, 4, were found dead by a london Ambulance Service team at their semi-detached home in Ruislip on Friday. Scotland Yard’s Homicide and Serious Crime Command team probing the “unexplained” deaths fear Heena, who worked at a local secondary school laboratory, may have used her expertise to create a poisonous chemical concoction and confirmed that at this stage they are not looking for anyone else in connection with the incident.
Officers had cordoned off the house and had ordered neighbours to remain indoors with doors and windows closed in the immediate aftermath of the discovery. They were also seen removing a bag marked “caution health hazard”. Meanwhile, tributes were pouring in for the “beautiful” mother and daughters as the local church devoted its weekly Sunday prayers to the “close-knit” family. PTI
