The local community is “really sombre” after two children died at a house in Stafford, a neighbour who came to lay flowers at the scene has said.

Two-year-old Meraj Ul Zahra and three-year-old Abdul Momin Alfaateh were pronounced dead at a house in Corporation Street after Staffordshire Police were called at around 7.30am on Sunday.
