In a devastating incident, the Norfolk Police confirmed that the deaths of two young girls and a woman at a home in Norfolk are being treated as murder. The victims, Jasmin Kuczynska, 12, Natasha Kuczynska, eight, and 36-year-old Kanticha Sukpengpanao, all succumbed to fatal stab wounds to the neck. The body of Bartlomiej Kuczynski, the girls’ father, was also discovered at the property. While his death is not considered suspicious, it further adds to the tragedy that unfolded on that fateful day.
Authorities have determined that the cause of death for the woman and the children was the result of stab wounds to the neck. In contrast, the man’s demise was caused by a single stab wound to the neck. Detective Chief Inspector Chris Burgess, leading the investigation, has expressed the shock and heartbreak felt by everyone involved, including the broader community. The grieving family is in the thoughts of the police as they navigate through this traumatic loss.
The Norfolk Police have extended their gratitude to the community for their assistance and support during this distressing time. Reassurance patrols will continue to be carried out to ensure the safety and well-being of the residents. While investigations progress, a cordon will remain at the address to facilitate a thorough examination of the crime scene.
In light of the incident, Norfolk Police has self-referred to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC). The decision comes after officers failed to respond to a 6am call made by a distressed individual from the property where the bodies were discovered. During the call, the man expressed concerns about his mental state, only to be advised by the police to seek medical advice. According to Charmaine Arbouin, IOPC regional director, an examination will be conducted to determine if the officers’ response aligned with force policies, training, and procedures.
Remarkably, this is not the first time that Norfolk Police has been in contact with the property. On 14 December, officers had attended the same residence in relation to a missing person inquiry. The circumstances surrounding this previous interaction will also be investigated as part of the ongoing case.
As the investigation continues, the Norfolk community is left in a state of shock and grief. The tragic loss of three lives is a reminder of the fragility of existence and the darkness that can infiltrate even the most unsuspecting of places. Authorities are committed to uncovering the truth and obtaining justice for Jasmin Kuczynska, Natasha Kuczynska, Kanticha Sukpengpanao, and Bartlomiej Kuczynski.
