Mother Questioned Over Baby And Toddler Deaths
A 21-year-old mother has been arrested by police on suspicion of murder after her three-month-old boy and toddler were found dead in Greater Manchester.
The bodies of the baby and a two-year-old child, Delayno and Romario Mullings-Sewell were discovered at a property in the Cheetham Hill area. They had been found stabbed to death.
Their mother has been sectioned under the Mental Health Act.
The house was cordoned off this morning, with several police officers standing outside.
Forensic experts are carrying out a detailed examination of the house.
A spokesman for Greater Manchester Police said officers responded to a call on Wednesday afternoon shortly after 2.50pm. They called to the house, but did not enter it, after receiving information from a person concerned for the welfare of the family.
The spokesman said: "We went round to the house but there was no one there. We did checks with neighbours and are searches."
He added police also visited the home of the children's grandparent, though there was no one there either.
The spokesman added: "While we were making these inquiries we got a 999 call which suggested that the children were back in the house, dead."
The investigation has been referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC), the GMP said.
The boy's family released a tribute to the young victims, which read: "This family had two beautiful, innocent children called Romario who was just two years old and his brother Delayno who had only been born in July this year.
"We, as a family, are struggling to come to terms with the tragic events of yesterday afternoon and we cannot even begin to understand what happened.
"Everybody is completely devastated and although we appreciated the interest of the press we would be very grateful if the family could be left in peace to begin the grieving process. We hope that wherever the boys have gone to they are at peace."
