THREE victims who died just before Easter from fumes from a suspected faulty boiler have been identified as a 66-year-old grandmother and her two young grandsons.

Roselyn Idugboe and the brothers, aged three and 19 months, were found dead at a home in Alderman Avenue, Barking, on April 13.

Post mortems of the three victims "gave a strong indication that cause of death was carbon monoxide poisoning". Police now await toxicology results.

Police have warned homeowners to check their gas appliances following the tragic deaths.

They are urging anyone who had their gas appliances, especially boiler, fitted or attended to, by Atalokhia Omo-Bare to turn off their gas supply and contact CORGI, the national watchdog for gas safety.

Two other women, age 37 and 26, remain in a serious but stable condition at an east London hospital.

The 37-year-old is the mother of the two deceased brothers and the daughter of the deceased woman. It is believed the 26-year-old woman is a family friend.

An inquest open and adjourned at Walthamstow Coroners Court last Wednesday.

Police are worried faulty gas equipment may have been fitted in other homes in the area.

A CORGI spokesman said: "Unsafe gas appliances can have dangerous consequences. The silent killer, carbon monoxide, is produced when an appliance is not working properly.

"Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning are similar to those of a viral infection and include drowsiness, weakness, headaches, nausea and pains in the chest.

"If anyone in your house has any of these symptoms whilst using a gas appliance, turn it off until a CORGI registered installer has checked it and consult a doctor."

People concerned should contact CORGI on 0870 401 2300 or the Specialist Crime Directorate East on 020 8345 1585.
