Police confirmed the identities of the three victims and said they were not looking for anyone else in connection with the tragedy.

Neighbors have described their shock after the grim discovery on Thursday afternoon. A resident told MailOnline: “I am absolutely shocked.

‘The first thing I knew something bad had happened was when the police showed up yesterday afternoon. I’ve since found out that Nadia and her two boys are dead.”

Police were called at 11:50 p.m. Thursday amid concerns for the well-being of those living in the home.

Detective Inspector Ollie Stride said: “This is a deeply sad case and we continue to investigate the circumstances that led to this tragic incident.

“I would like to thank the local community for their cooperation while our officers conduct their investigations.

“Our thoughts today are deeply with the family who are struggling to come to terms with their loss and we ask that their privacy be respected at this extremely difficult time.”

A neighbor told MailOnline: “I didn’t know her [Ms de Jager] Well just to say hi but she was always smart and her kids were well taken care of.

“In the summer the boys played happily in the garden. God knows what happened.’

She added that the family appeared to be preparing to move out recently, but then changed their mind.

“A few weeks ago it looked like they were moving out. She drew down the curtains and threw away a lot of old toys,’ she said. “And then everything went back to normal.”

Another neighbor recounted how the family had moved to the quiet residential street about five years ago, but had not yet fully integrated.

She said: “She moved in about five years ago. I always said hello to her, but she really didn’t want to go any further.’
