8-year-old girl among three people of same family found dead in Ballymena house

Three members of a Polish family, including an 8-year-old girl born in Northern Ireland, were found dead in a house in Ballymena, Northern Ireland. Police are treating the incident as a potential double murder followed by a sudden death, though they have not yet released the results of postmortem examinations. Superintendent William Calderwood stated that investigators are focusing on the possibility of foul play but are not seeking additional suspects. The family included a 41-year-old man and a 39-year-old woman. Authorities are urging the public to avoid speculation and are requesting witnesses to come forward with any information. The Honorary Consul for Poland in Northern Ireland expressed deep sorrow over the tragedy, calling it a 'shocking' event. The scene remains cordoned off, with personal items such as toys and children's sandals left outside the property.
