Mum had split from partner night before family tragedy
ByThe Courier Reporter
A heavily pregnant woman who fell to her death from a car park before her three young children were found dead had split up with their father the previous night.
Police were called out on Monday at 8am to the death of the woman, named locally as 21-year-old Fiona Anderson, who had suffered fatal head injuries at a multi-storey car park.
Officers investigating the incident later found the children named by neighbours as Levina, three, Addy, two, and 11-month-old baby Kyden at their home in London Road South, Lowestoft, Suffolk.
Next door neighbour and friend Megan Smith, 19, said that Ms Anderson had split up with boyfriend Craig McLelland the night before the tragedy.
“She was crying out for help because she was depressed, she couldn’t cope,” Ms Smith said. “She was a lovely, bubbly person, she kept herself to herself, she did the best by her kids, her kids didn’t want for anything.”
Police said they were still awaiting the conclusion of post-mortem examinations before formal identification could take place.
