The couple’s roommate made the tragic discovery – finding the Latvian couple’s two-year-old son asleep in the semi-detached home on Wednesday night.
The 47-year-old warehouse worker told The Daily Mail that dad Kiril had been complaining about being tired at his work as a Pizza Express chef.
He said: “I think it was maybe depression – he told me that Lana didn’t understand him.
“They had been a happy couple but there had been tension between them in recent weeks.”
He added: “Lana was upset because she said Kiril always thought he was in the right and she was always in the wrong. But I don’t know what could have triggered something like this to happen.”

Kiril is understood to have moved to the UK about six years ago, settling in Winchester.
He then met Lana, an optometrist, when he was visiting Latvia a few years ago, with the couple marrying in 2016.
It has been claimed Kiril had not showed up for his shift at Pizza Express on Wednesday.
