A shock new twist in the heartbreaking case of two children found dead in unclaimed bags has emerged as it was revealed their father died of a cancer a year before their mother went missing.
The sickening discovery of the boy and girl, who are thought to be aged between five and 10 when they died four years ago, rocked the world after they were discovered in New Zealand on August 11.
The dumped pair were found after a family purchased the contents of a storage unit and the children were found in two suitcases inside.
