Brave paramedics and gardai who attended the scene of a murder suicide in Dublin are being offered support and time off after the horror they witnessed.<\/a>The Irish Mirror has learned that the incredible paramedics and gardai who were first to come upon the horrific scene at a house in Heathfield Terrace, Finglas, Co Dublin this week<\/a>, are now being offered various supports to help them come to terms with what they witnessed.Sources say Dublin Fire Brigade paramedics have been given the opportunity to meet with fellow officers trained in Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM), where they can talk through what they\u2019ve witnessed. Similar support is also being offered to the gardai who entered the home and discovered suspected murderer Kryzystof Daczkowski (50), and his five year old daughter Julia dead.<\/a><\/p>\n

Part of that process involves being offered time off and mental health support, and comes as gardai have been given the resources of a murder investigation following post mortem examinations on both father and daughter.Polish native Kyzystof is suspected of strangling Julia to death in the bedroom before taking his own life by the landing of the house on Saturday. They are believed to have been dead for several hours before devastated mother Aga returned home from a shift at work and made the shocking discovery.<\/p>\n

The Irish Mirror has learned more harrowing details about the moment emergency services were called to the scene by the grief stricken mother – who opened the door to them at around 8pm and let them inside.Sources say a highly upset Aga – who neighbours had heard screaming, pointed out the upstairs bedroom to paramedics as they arrived at the house – with them then rushing past her to get to her daughter as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

It is understood the brave emergency service workers saw Kryzystof dead by the stairs, and instantly knew he was beyond saving. They rushed to the bedroom where they found tragic Julia lifeless on her bed.Sources say emergency services knew immediately that a crime had occurred, and left the scene as gardai arrived to take over. The bodies are set to be released in the coming days as the heartbroken family makes funeral preparations.Tragic Julia was just a few weeks short of her sixth birthday, and was often seen playing in the playground which is situated on a green area right in front of the family home in Heathfield Terrace.Her heartbroken mother had returned home from work at a pharmacy, while her father, who worked as a bus driver with Bus Eireann, stayed home with her that day. The child\u2019s grandmother is understood to have been staying with the family throughout the summer, and had only just returned to Poland days before the tragedy.Locals told this paper how the young child and her father were often seen in that playground – and of their shock that this tragedy had occurred. One local told how a neighbour heard the mother\u2019s scream. \u201cShe came out to a horrible scream. It was the mother. She\u2019d just come home from work and found them,\u201d they said.Other neighbours spoke of the pain at having to tell their children – many of whom played with the little girl in the playground, what had happened.\u201cIt\u2019s very hard. Like we don\u2019t know what to be telling our children. It\u2019s just horrific,\u201d one local woman said. \u201cWord filtered through but I kind of don\u2019t think the gravity of it hit until the searches and all were going on this morning,\u201d they added.\u201cIt\u2019s just the kids now that we are trying to protect from it. My two girls are the same age as that little one. So it\u2019s shocking. They would know her to see her in the playground. We\u2019d always say hello to the family. My girls thought there was a movie being recorded this morning because of the cameras so I just said yeah that\u2019s right.\u201dAnother neighbour added: \u201cIt\u2019s very sad. You don\u2019t know what you\u2019re going to do. We\u2019ve a lot of kids as you can see there in the playground. It\u2019s really sad. Such a quiet neighbourhood up here. You don\u2019t hear a dickie bird up here.\u201cThey\u2019re such a quiet family. People have their thoughts on it. I have my own but no matter what it\u2019s a tragedy.They’re a lovely very quiet family and kept to themselves. Just one child between the two of them.\u201dAnother woman described how she saw a fire brigade truck coming into the estate at speed – and immediately she knew something was wrong. \u201cI was up in my room and I saw the fire truck came in. I knew by the way they ran out that it was something serious.\u201d\u201cThere were four ambulances, two fire vans, the engine and then the guards. I knew once the ambulances were leaving I thought oh this is not good, they\u2019re not bringing anyone out. But I still wouldn\u2019t have imagined anything like that.\u201dLocals described how the father of the child was often seen with her on the street – and how the grandmother had just left the home days before the tragedy – after staying with the family all summer.\u201cHe (the father) spent all summer teaching her to go on her bike without stabilisers. You\u2019d see him in the middle of the road holding traffic and you\u2019re like: \u2018Get off the road.\u2019 The grandmother was there all summer. She has been all summer. You would always see her going up and down the road with the little girl,\u201d a neighbour said.On Saturday night gardai said they are “investigating all the circumstances surrounding” the discovery of the two bodies.In a statement, a garda spokesperson said: “Garda\u00ed are investigating all the circumstances surrounding the discovery of two bodies at a domestic residence in Finglas, Dublin, on Saturday, 27th September 2025. Garda\u00ed and emergency services were called to the residence in the Cappagh area shortly before 8:00pm.The location has been preserved for forensic examination by the Garda Technical Bureau. “The Coroner has been notified and the services of the Office of the State Pathologist have been requested. No further information is available at this time.”<\/p>\n
