The family of Tomas, Jana and Marko have shared a tribute in Slovakian, which police have translated as:
Touch of a dying day
Mourning is suddenly spilling through my soul,
however, I have no clue how it got there,
perhaps only knowledge poured it there,
that you have left, that dying day has touched you.
So I am slowly losing you from my things, the room,
your energy, the way we have known you to be like,
and I would like to let you know just for short time
that I loved you, that I still like you.
So you move away, but my love flies with you
up there in the sky where it shines like a star,
so you can still peek with your night eye
into people’s souls who meant so much to you.
