Fulham Court Stabbing Victims Named
Helen Fraser and Steve Bernard's deaths 'witnessed by daughter'
The man and woman found stabbed to death in a flat in Fulham Court on June 20 have been named.
The couple who died in a suspected murder-suicide were Helen Fraser, 49, and Steve Bernard, 50, who lived together in a second floor flat on the estate in Fulham Road.
The Evening Standard reports that police were called after neighbours heard screams coming from the flat early on Monday morning before police arrived at 4.25pm.
One neighbour told the Standard that Helen Fraser, an accountant had been living in the flat for around 15 years and said: " She was a lovely person, so kind and so loving to her children. She was a mother, a neighbour and a friend.
“We are all shocked because Steve was also nice and we don’t know how this could have happened. They seemed like a perfect couple when you saw them around."
Another said: " She always talked about her children, but they and the rest of her family are in a very bad place right now. One of them, her youngest daughter I think, witnessed it and went to get help when it happened. Everyone is in shock. She always worked hard for her family.”
Police say that post mortems were due to take place at Uxbridge Mortuary, after a murder investigation was launched by Detective Chief Inspector Mark Lawson of the Homicide and Major Crime Command.
Enquiries continue to establish the full circumstances of the incident. However, at this stage of the investigation detectives are not seeking anyone else in connection with the incident.
Police are asking anyone with information to call the incident room 020 8358 0200; or to remain anonymous, call 0800 555 111.
