A " truly heartbroken" family has paid tribute to four relatives who were found dead in a south-east London home.

Mr Burke was " A Family man" and a trained chef who " showed his love through food" She Said , when he was not working for Westminster City Council as a sanitation worker.

" Denton was a fun-loving and warm-hearted, kind man whose laughter would bring joy to anyone in his presence, " She Said . " The amount of laughter and happy memories that we all shared will be cherished forever. "

His wife was described as a loving and charitable woman of " impeccable strength" who worked for the NHS for More Than 20 years.

" Dolet was a strong pillar of The Family and always welcomed everyone with an Open Heart . If you ever needed a helping hand, she would not hesitate to render her assistance, " Ms Hutchinson said.

Ms Hill's daughter, Tanysha, was a nurse who lived in Kennington and was " a doting wife, caring mother and a great friend, " She Said .

Tanysha Drummonds, was also known as Rachquel, and was previously named by police as Tanysha Ofori-Akuffo.

The youngest, Samantha, who lived in Forest Hill , was " an upbeat, fun-loving, bubbly Young Lady who adored her grandmother Dolet".

Ms Hutchinson asked well-wishers to donate towards funeral costs for the " remarkable group of people" to " give them a ceremony they deserve".
