The post mortem of two children believed to have been killed by their mother before she took her own life will take place tomorrow.

The two boys, aged five and seven months, were found dead with their 33-year-old mother at the family home in Woodgrange Close, Kenton on Thursday evening.

The death of the two boys is being treated as murder and post mortem into their deaths will take place tomorrow.

A post mortem carried out at Northwick Park Mortuary on Saturday gave the woman’s cause of death as compression of the neck.

A spokesman for Brent Borough Council said: “The family were known to the council but it would be inappropriate to comment further.”

Detectives investigating the murder say they are not seeking anyone else in connection with the deaths.
