Two young boys were found strangled at their home and their mother was discovered dead in the same property, an inquest has heard.
The bodies of Nadja de Jager, 47, and her sons Alexander, nine, and Maximus, seven, were discovered after police forced entry to their home in Belvedere, south-east London, on March 9.
Post-mortem examinations revealed the boys’ provisional cause of death as ligature compression to the neck while their mother’s provisional cause of death was given as suspension, a medical term which includes hanging.
