A pregnant mother is believed to have killed her three children before leaping to her death from a car park.

The woman, who was named locally as Fiona Anderson, was in her early 20s. She was found with severe head injuries at about 8am yesterday in Lowestoft.

A friend described her as ‘lovely’ and ‘brilliant mother’ who had recently been depressed after breaking up with her boyfriend, the children’s father.

Miss Anderson was pronounced dead at the Battery Green multi-storey car park after falling about 40ft (12m).


Police inquiries led them to an address half a mile away in the Suffolk town.



When they arrived at her basement flat the bodies of Levina, three, Addy, two and an 11-month-old boy were found.

The property in the Kirkley area of the town was sealed off as officers examined the interior. Soft toys and flowers were left outside.

Miss Anderson’s ex-boyfriend, Craig McLelland, arrived at the flat about 7.30pm and wept while being supported by two friends. ‘I have lost my family,’ he said. ‘My children are dead. I found out this morning when I got a phone call saying somebody had committed suicide and I had a feeling who it was.’

Karleigh Burlingham, 20, who knew Miss Anderson, said: ‘She was heavily pregnant with a baby girl due next month.

‘She was a lovely person. It is devastating that three innocent little children have died. She just didn’t seem the sort of mother to do this.

‘She must have been going through a very tough time. Her kids were healthy and well brought up.’

Det Supt John Brocklebank said his officers were in the early stages of the investigation. ‘It is too early to be able to come up with a definitive explanation and we will be keeping an open mind,’ he said.
