Police name three children who died at house in Bristol on Sunday
Officers were called out to Sea Mills in the early hours of yesterday morning (19 February)
Avon and Somerset Police have named the three children who died after an incident at a property in Bristol over the weekend.
Three young people lost their lives at the house in Blaise Walk in the Sea Mills area.
While they haven't yet been formally identified, officers have confirmed they were all siblings.
These are believed to be seven-year-old Fares Bash, three-year-old Joury Bash and nine-month-old Mohammed Bash.
In a statement, Avon and Somerset Police added: "Their next of kin are continuing to be supported by specially trained officers and our thoughts remain with them at this incredibly difficult time, as well as everyone affected by this tragedy.
"Forensic post-mortem examinations will be carried out on the children to establish the cause of death and it’s important we don’t give further detail on this until the proper processes have been carried out. The post-mortem examinations are not likely to be completed until the middle to the end of this week at the earliest.
"A 42-year-old woman arrested at the scene remains in hospital due to injuries she’d sustained. Her condition is not life-threatening, and she remains in police custody at this time.
"Uniformed officers from the Neighbourhood Policing team will continue to be present in the area in the coming days, so residents are able to raise any worries, issues or concerns, and some police cordons will remain in place until our enquiries at the scene conclude. We continue to treat this as an isolated incident with no ongoing risk posed to the local community.
