Police tried to revive alleged stabber dad Olumide Orimoloye while mum Hazel Wilson-Bryant was found dead at the scene
POLICE have named a couple who died in a suspected murder-suicide during which their children were heard screaming in fear.
Hazel Wilson-Bryant, 27, is thought to have been stabbed to death by 42-year-old Olumide Orimoloye before he turned the knife on himself.
The mum-of-two was found dead at the scene while her partner was taken from the family's flat in Cheshunt, Herts on Sunday. He died shortly afterwards.
Neighbours reported hearing their children — a boy, 10, and a girl, 6 — crying and begging their parents to stop.
Piotr Ziemkiewicz, 32, a fork lift truck driver who called the police, said: "The couple were always arguing, but this time it was on a different level.
"There were screams, banging and shouting and dogs barking.
"It was so intense that I feared someone was going to be killed. It went on for several minutes.
"The kids were shouting 'stop daddy and stop mummy' It sounded as though they were trying to break them apart."
Armed cops carrying riot shields charged the door of the maisonette and found the pair with fatal stab wounds.
Minutes earlier Ms Wilson-Bryant had been seen running terrified on to the balcony.
Neighbour James Coyne, 30, told the he heard cries for help at around 1.15pm, just after showing a prospective lodger around his flat in nearby Leighton Court.
Mr Coyne said: "It was shocking. I had heard arguments. The man had been aggressive and I have been worried about it before.
"I opened up the window to hear what was going on and then there she was in a bath robe on the balcony.
"She was screaming out 'call 999' in my direction. I realised it was pretty serious and I called 999 and they said they had already had a call."
Paramedics were seen carrying the man after an air ambulance landed in the street outside the Hertfordshire home.
A horrified onlooker said: “They spent about ten minutes trying to revive him.
"Eventually they put a sheet over him and I knew he was dead.”
Speaking to the Hertfordshire Mercury, local bar manager Peter Prejna said: "I just heard sirens and then the air ambulance landing in the road.
"I feel sorry for the kids. I heard there were two children in there as well. One was about six, same age as my child."
A police spokesperson said on Sunday: "Police were called to Turners Hill in Cheshunt at 1.15pm today following reports of a disturbance within a property.
"When police arrived at the address they found a woman had been stabbed and had tragically passed away.
"A man was also found to be at the property with knife wounds.
"He also tragically passed away shortly after at the scene.
"At this early stage of the investigation, police do not currently believe they are looking for anyone else in connection with this incident. Investigations are on-going."
A neighbour said cops had been called to the flat before, adding: “There was always screaming and shouting in there.”
A spokesman for the inquiry confirmed: “At this early stage, police do not currently believe they are looking for anyone else.”
