Woman arrested on suspicion of murder after two children found dead

Following the deaths of two children, a 43-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of murder. Around 07:30 BST, emergency services were dispatched to a home in Corporation Street, Stafford, where the two children were pronounced dead. A woman from the Stafford area had been arrested and remained in detention, according to Staffordshire Police.

We are working hard to learn more about the events that led to these two children's tragically ending their lives,
Det Insp Kirsty Oldfield said.

We ask that people not speculate at this time because it is distressing for family and friends and could impede our research. Officers were dispatched by West Midlands Ambulance Service to their home. Specially trained officers have been notified and are being aided by specially trained officers, according to the department. The children's ages have not been determined, and a cordon remains at the house.
We know that this incident may have sparked anxiety in the local community,Det Insp Oldfield said.There is no danger to the wider community.

The ambulance service informed the ambulance service that paracs were sent to the hospital at 07:26 a. M. , where the two children were discovered.

Unfortunately, it quickly became apparent that nothing could be done to save them and they were declared dead on the scene,
a spokesperson said. Anyone with information that could assist with the probe is encouraged to call Staffordshire Police.
