The lady kept telling her husband that she wanted to kill herself and the kids.

#3 The lady killed her daughters when her husband, Marcin Galikowka, 28, was at work.

Marcin was shocked when he found the dead bodies of his wife and children after returning home at 6.35 pm.

#4 The tragic incident took place at the house on Sherwin road in Stoke-On-Trent on 12th October last year.

Firstly, Marcin was arrested by the police but then soon released after the investigation of the case.

#5 The case was handled by social services.

#6 Maja was a student at St Wilfrid’s Catholic Primary School.

Mr Lan Smith, senior official for Stoke-On-Trent and North Staffordshire, explained,"These were killings and suicide out of love - a perverse sort of love. I accept in Marta's mind she "knew" Maja had got cancer. She was completely wrong in that regard, but that was what she believed. She didn't want her daughter to die of cancer, and if she couldn't prevent her daughter dying of cancer she would take her life. She took Olga's on the same occasion, and having committed that she felt she had no other alternative than to take her own life."

The grief-stricken father paid a tribute to his deceased wife. He said: "Marta was a fantastic wife and a loving mum who worshiped our daughters Maja and Olga. My wife was a very special person who lit up my life. Maja and Olga were wonderful children whose smiles still shine brightly." May their souls rest in peace.
