(WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- One month after five family members died in a Buffalo Grove home, the village has released documents detailing a string of domestic-related calls to police leading up to that murder-suicide.

Police responded to 14 domestic calls involving the Kisliak family before the final visit to the home -- a well-being check Nov. 30 when they found five bodies, all victims of “sharp force injuries.”

Among the five bodies: a 7-year-old girl and a 4-year-old girl.

The Daily Herald was the first to report the release of the police documents, which detail “repeated calls as well as attempts to help Vera (Kisliak), including advising her on orders of protection, divorce and child custody.”

One of the police reports, from last August, references a call from a third party who said she talked with the older of the two girls “who told her she was afraid to go home” and that the father hit the girls and their mother at home.

Besides Vera Kisliak, 36, the others who were found dead were Andrei Kisliak, her 39-year-old husband; their young daughters Vivian and Amilia; and Lilia Kisliak, 67, the children’s grandmother.
