Izabela, Kinga and Kacper with Damian Rzeszowski, the husband and father suspected of killing them.

POST-MORTEM examinations began yesterday on the children killed in a knife attack in Victoria Crescent, St Helier, on Sunday.

The first began in the morning and a second Home Office pathologist arrived in Jersey to start autopsies in the afternoon on the other two children and the second woman who died in the incident.

It is hoped all the examinations will be completed by tomorrow, following which formal identification of all the victims will take place.

The identities of the attacker and the victims have yet to be formally confirmed by Jersey Police, but it has been widely reported in the media that Damian Rzeszowski turned a knife on himself after killing wife Izabela Rzeszowska, 30, and their children Kinga, six, and Kacper, 18 months.
