Mother-of-three stabbed to death at family home ‘never stopped giving love’

Three children have been ‘left without their most important person’ after their mother was stabbed to death.

Agne Druskiene, 40, was found suffering multiple knife injuries at her family home in Havering, east London.

Police responded to reports of the stabbing in Cranham Road, Hornchurch at 1.04am on Saturday, 18 October.

She was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics.

A GoFundMe pays tribute to beloved Agne which said she was: ‘A woman who meant everything to those who knew her. A loving, devoted mother, a gentle daughter, a loyal friend, a kind-hearted neighbour. Her smile warmed hearts, her embrace comforted, and her heart never stopped giving love to those around her.

‘Her three children are now left without the most important person — their mother.

‘The younger ones — without her tenderness, her safety, her arms that always comforted.

‘The eldest daughter — who had just begun her own independent journey in life — is now forced to be the source of strength for the little ones.

‘This is not just a loss. It is an endless pain, silence, and emptiness that nothing can fill.

‘We can all do what people do best — be there and help.

‘Every act of kindness, every pound donated, every time this message is shared, is like a gentle hand embracing the children who have lost their mother, and a tender voice whispering: “You are not alone.” ‘

It has raised more than £8,000 so far.

A neighbour told Metro that police had closed down the street since early Saturday morning.

He said: ‘I am completely shocked. It has really upset me. They seemed like a lovely family.

‘I would take in parcels for them when they weren’t in and they were always very grateful.

‘I would see the mother take the little ones to school in the morning. And the dad taking out the bins on a Wednesday.

‘They’ve lived here for more than three years. It is so sad. I was wondering what the hell was going on.

‘Forensics officers in their white suits have been here since Saturday morning, it’s been like watching a TV show out of the window.’

Floral tributes were left outside her home.

One had a card attached which said: ‘I can’t believe I won’t see you again. The angels took you too soon it’s so unfair.’

Another said: ‘We are praying for you all.’

A neighbour told Metro: ‘We are devastated. She was a lovely woman, a bright spark and very popular. They looked like the perfect family.’

Her husband, Augustinas Druskis, 43, was arrested and appeared at Barkingside Magistrates’ Court today charged with her murder.

The builder was remanded in custody to appear at the Old Bailey on October 22.

He appeared in custody in prison issue grey tracksuit and spoke through an interpreter to confirm his name, address and date of birth during the five minute hearing.
The family of the victim, and the accused, attended the hearing.

Anyone with information relating to the incident is urged to contact the Met via 101.
