Children found stabbed to death in car
An investigation was underway in Britain today after two young children were found stabbed to death in a car.
The two boys, aged seven and eight, were found with a 43-year-old man who had stab wounds to his chest at the Hilltop and Manwood Farm golf course, Handsworth, Birmingham, England at 10.15pm last night.
A spokesman for West Midlands Police said the man, who was arrested at the scene, was in a serious but stable condition in hospital.
The spokesman would not confirm that the man, from Great Barr, Birmingham, was the children’s father, but added: ‘‘That is the theory we are working on.’’
He said officers were also working on the theory that the man’s injuries were self-inflicted.
The three were discovered behind some outbuildings at the golf course, which is off Park Lane.
A post mortem into the children’s deaths was due to be carried out later today.
Chief Superintendent Ellie Baker, head of crime support at West Midlands Police, said: ‘‘At this early stage, this tragic incident appears to be domestically-related.’’
