Fall family 'had asylum bid denied'

Mar 9 2010

A father, mother and her son who plunged to their deaths from a block of flats had their application for asylum from Canada rejected by UK authorities, it was claimed.

Their three bodies were found at the bottom of a 31-storey block in Petershill Drive in the Springburn area of Glasgow on Sunday.

The three Russian nationals have yet to be named by police but it is understood they were Serguei Serykh, 43, his wife Tatiana and his stepson.
