Two sons were strangled to death and found dead in an upstairs bedroom before their mum's body was found in the same property, a coroner has said today.
Croydon Coroner's Court confirmed two sons Alexander, nine, and Maximus, seven died from "ligature compression of the neck" and were found in an upstairs bedroom earlier this month, as an inquest into their deaths opened today.
They were found dead alongside their mum Nadja De Jager, 47 in the London property. Her provisional cause of death was given as suspension, a medical term which includes hanging.
