In January, 45-year-old Bartlomiej Kuczynski was found dead in a house in Allan Bedford Crescent, Queens Hill, along with his two young daughters and their aunt.

Following the tragedy, it emerged that Kuczynski had made a call to 999 in a distressed state before all four bodies were found - but police did not attend until another member of the public raised the alarm.

Police are treating the incident as a triple murder as Kuczynski is believed to have killed his daughters - Yosita, known by all as Jasmin, aged 12, and Natasha, aged eight - as well as their aunt Kanticha Sukpengpanao, 36, before taking his own life.

An inquest into the deaths was opened on January 31, less than two weeks after their death on January 19.

During a preliminary hearing held on Monday, Norfolk's senior coroner Jacqueline Lake said the court was still awaiting further reports and witness statements before a full inquest could be held.

She adjourned the case for a further review on July 25, 2024, at Norfolk Coroner’s Court at County Hall, Norwich.

Since their death, the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) launched an investigation into the incident after Norfolk Constabulary referred itself to the watchdog.

Now, the organisation has confirmed it has issued a gross misconduct notice to a civilian member of staff at the constabulary - meaning the individual could face disciplinary action.

Meanwhile, police have confirmed the individual has been suspended.

The IOPC has not provided the reason for its decision, nor did it name the staff member in question.

The individual is a civilian member of staff - not a serving officer.
