A seven-year-old girl and boy, aged 11, have been named as the victims of a suspected double murder in Stoke-on-Trent.
Officers were called to a car wash on Campbell Road just after 2pm on Sunday following reports of an assault involving a man and a woman. A man in his 40s was taken to hospital by paramedics from the West Midlands Ambulance Service and has since been released.
Police then went to a home on Flax Street to arrest a 49-year-old woman and found the children injured and unresponsive inside. Despite the efforts of paramedics, both children, who have not been named, died at the scene, police said.
