Police to review involvement with family feared killed by ‘abusive monster’

Aram Abdul Razaq Aziz, 32, is believed to have killed his former partner Joy Small, 24, and their two children Aubarr, three, and Chanarra, two, before taking his own life.

Aziz, described by a neighbour as an “abusive monster”’ was found at Watermead Country Park in Leicester on Friday evening.

The next day the bodies of Ms Small, who was originally from Sheffield, and the children were found at a flat in Jersey Road.

Leicestershire Police have said they were treating the deaths of Ms Small and her children as suspicious, but were not looking for anyone else.

Post-mortem examinations were carried out on the family yesterday police said, but the cause of death had not been revealed for any of them as results of further tests were awaited.

Leicestershire Police confirmed the force had contact with the family in the past and it would carry out a review. A spokeswoman said: “In cases such as these, where there has been previous police contact, it is the force’s procedure to carry out a full and thorough review into all previous involvement with the family to enable us to have a full understanding of the history.”
