A mother has been charged with two counts of murder after the deaths of her two children.

Felicia Boots, 34, was charged with murder yesterday and appeared at South Western Magistrates' Court in Battersea.

Her children, 10-week-old boy, Mason, and 14-month-old girl, Lily, were found dead in the family home in Killarney Road, Wandsworth, on Wednesday evening.

She was remanded in custody to appear at the Old Bailey on Tuesday.

Post-mortem tests have so far given no formal cause of death for the children.

More examinations are planned. Police officers believe the children were smothered.
