A third child, a six-month-old baby, is suffering from suspected stab wounds and in a critical condition in hospital.
All three children were found at a home in Carshalton on Friday evening after police and the London Ambulance Service were called, but the five-year-old and the four-year-old died later in hospital.
A 39-year-old man and a 35-year-old woman have been arrested and officers from the Homicide and Serious Crime Command and the Child Abuse Investigation Command have launched an investigation
Oh dear god!
I dunno what this world is coming to I really dont :evil:
Tamil family, probably kept themselves to themselves so lots of speculation…………………all too sad for words…….
read about it tonight, sounds very horrid. Poor kids.
its a horrible world, no one can predict what goes on behind closed door, those poor children and now the husband has to cope with what happened, no doubt the full story will out in the very near future, rest in peace little ones
It’s the mum and dad that has been arrested.
On reading today’s papers it seems that the mother was primarily responsible for the killing and wounding of her children. The father has been released without being charged etc.
The mother, it seems, is being detained under the Mental Health Acts.
What a horrible terrible mess this is.

It’s not the best eh? :(
I wonder if she was a drug abuser? I will be waiting to hear, seeing as the debate on free choice of abusing your body with mind altering drugs was a Pikey special not too long back. :)
Carshalton Children Stabbing: Mother Sasikala Navaneethan Held Under Mental Health Act For Post-Natal Depression

The mother of two children stabbed to death at their home should have been diagnosed with depression and treated sooner, according to people who knew her.Thirty-five-year-old Sasikala Navaneethan was arrested over the deaths and serious stab injuries suffered by her six-month-old daughter who remains critically ill.
Mrs Navantheen has been detained under the Mental Health Act, and has been in hospital since the incident at her home in Carshalton, Surrey.
Neighbours say they believe Mrs Navaneethan was suffering depression and that someone should have picked up on it sooner.
Angie Silverstein, who works at a motor company near the couple’s grocery shop in Coulsdon, said: “She was very unhappy, she always looked very sad.
“Now looking back, everyone said she was miserable, now I feel really sorry for her. She just looked sad and lost, and she obviously was.
“It’s a shame that somebody, a GP or someone didn’t diagnose anything. What has shocked everyone is that it got to this point.”
Mrs Navantheen’s five-year-old boy and four-year-old daughter died in hospital after they were found injured at their home.
Her other baby daughter is in a critical but stable condition in hospital after an operation.
The children’s father, 39-year-old Navarajah Navaneethan, has been released without charge.
He is said to be a hard-working man who spent most of his time at the couple’s Best Save Food and Wine shop in Coulsdon.
“He was always open from seven in the morning and would work until 10 or 11 at night, seven days a week,” said Ms Silverstein.
“I’m pretty sure that he was open on Christmas day too, but he was always happy. He was really bubbly, really nice, and the children always seemed so happy.
“But the mum was in a little world of her own. I can see now that she was depressed.”
I read earlier that she was suffering with and diagnosed with post-natal depression.
1000’s of women suffer with this, but they dont slit their babies throats. To kill one, then another and then attempt to kill a third means she meant to do what she did.
Plain and simple case of murder and attempted murder to me. Until more facts are released anyway. Even then I cant see myself feeling any pity for anyone other than the children.
The baby is laying in a hospital critical with a slit throat.
