London mother and children go missing after husband is released on wounding charge

Police in London have appealed for information after a mother and her two children disappeared along with her husband, who had been released on bail after being charged with wounding her. Survoi Costa, 25, and children Scarlett, seven, and three-year-old Scarleon have not been seen since Tuesday 3 May when they left their home in Green Street, Forest Gate.

Social services reported Survoi, Scarlett and Scarleon went missing two days later. They are thought to be with Sumon, 36, who is wanted for breaching bail.

It is thought the family might have gone abroad but police are appealing for anyone with information to get in touch.

Sumon Costa was charged on 27 March and remained in custody until 3 May.

A Metropolitan Police spokesman said detectives are concerned for Survoi's safety, adding: "Enquiries so far indicate that the family were going to leave the country and travel to France, however there is no evidence at this stage to confirm that this has happened. Enquires with the relevant agencies regarding this are ongoing."

Members of the public with information are asked to call the police on 101 quoting Ref 16MIS018583 or by calling the charity Crimestoppers free on 0800 555 111.
