A seven-year-old girl and an 11-year-old boy were the victims of a suspected double murder in Stoke-on-Trent on Sunday, police said.
A 49-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion of murder after officers found the two children with “significant” injuries at a home in Flax Street, Staffordshire Police said.
It came after officers were called to a car wash in Campbell Road at 2.04pm to reports a man had been stabbed.
He was taken to hospital by paramedics and has since been released.
The force said it has made a voluntary referral to the Independent Office for Police Conduct due to recent police contact.
