It was revealed how Mrs Wlodarczyk appeared to be attempting to get assistance, with police finding her lifeless body with a mobile phone pressed close to her ear and chin.

Days earlier the mother-of-two, who was a chambermaid at a Heathrow airport hotel, abruptly rushed out of work an hour early without telling bosses.

She had been sending a string of frantic messages to Maja in which she seemed ‘concerned’ about her children while also receiving a nine-second phone-call from her husband, coroner Dr Anton Van Dellen said.

Just three days before the shocking killings, a neighbour reported being woken up in the early hours of the morning by a female voice, thought to belong to Maja, loudly screaming ‘Get off me’ in English.

Police forced entry to the property on June 16 to find the entire family dead.

Mrs Wlodarczyk was discovered sprawled between the hallway and the bathroom with Dawid lying next to her, Detective Sergeant Allen Windsor said in a written witness statement read in court.

Mr Wlodarczyk stabbed himself with the same knife while lying on the sofa bed where the couple usually slept in the living room.

The little girl was found in her bedroom with ‘an apparent stab wound to her chest and injuries to her arms and hands’, the hearing was told.

Police found Mr Wlodarczyk in the living room, wearing only a pair of boxer shorts with an apparent stab wound to the neck and ‘a large amount of blood pooling on the duvet’ he was on top of.

Next to his left hand was a 19cm long kitchen knife covered in blood.

Forensic investigators identified his bloody fingerprint on Maja’s bedroom door and three of his bloody footprints in the living room.
