Family deaths father Aram Aziz 'killed himself' at park Hanged father Aram Aziz killed Leicester family
(about 1 hour later)
A man who is thought to have killed his ex-partner and their two children, hanged himself in a Leicestershire park, a coroner has ruled. A father killed his ex-partner and their two young children in a Leicester flat before hanging himself in a county park, a coroner has ruled.
The body of Aram Aziz, 32, was found in a birdwatching hut at Watermead Country Park on 11 February last year. The inquest heard Aram Aziz, 32, unlawfully killed Joy Small, 24, their son Aubarr, two, and three-year-old daughter Chanara in Leicester.
His former partner Joy Small, 24, and their two children were found dead the next day at a flat in Mowmacre. Their bodies were found in her flat in Mowmacre on 12 February last year.
Coroner Catherine Mason, at Leicester Coroner's Court, ruled that Mr Aziz had committed suicide. Aziz was found hanged from a birdwatching hut at Watermead Country Park in Leicestershire the day before.
It is believed Mr Aziz killed Ms Small, his three-year-old son Aubarr and two-year-old daughter Chanara before killing himself at the Leicestershire park. At the first hearing, Coroner Catherine Mason, at Leicester Coroner's Court, ruled that Aziz had committed suicide.
The hearing was told he had left a note by his body. She was told the father-of-two had left a note by his body.
Mrs Mason heard evidence from a pathologist and Leicestershire Police before delivering her verdict. The note said: "So I began by killing Joy and then killing the children by Aubarr and then Chanara and finally myself."
A second inquest, at Leicester Town Hall Square, into the deaths of Ms Small, Aubarr and Chanara, is under way. 'Vulnerable' family
An independent review into contact between police and Ms Small will be published after that inquest concludes. At the second inquest, also at Leicester Town Hall Square, Mrs Mason recorded unlawful killings verdicts for Ms Small, Aubarr and Chanara.
Mrs Mason heard there were missed opportunities in the way agencies dealt with the "vulnerable" family of Jersey Road in Leicester.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) found that Leicestershire Police had contact with the family on at least eight occasions between 2006 and 2010.
The investigation focused on police handling of four of those incidents in 2010.
The IPCC said that while the investigation found no failings amounting to misconduct, it did identify the need for learning by some individual officers in relation to domestic abuse.
IPCC Commissioner Amerdeep Somal said: "Some appropriate steps were taken by police to help Joy Small at different times. This included their proactive actions to install an alarm at her address.
"However some incidents could have been handled and recorded better.
"The high risk assessment rightly applied to Ms Small by officers should have meant her being referred to an independent domestic violence advisor, but... this did not happen."
