Detectives are waiting to question a woman suspected of murdering her two young children whose bodies were found in a car in Heathfield, East Sussex.
The bodies of three-year-old Harry Donnison and his two-year-old sister Elise were found when police broke into the silver Nissan in Mill Close.
Fiona Donnison, was hospitalised with “self-harm injuries” to her arms after reporting an “incident” to police.
Police said the 43-year-old was in a stable condition.
Post-mortem examinations are due to take place later on the bodies of children, which were found just before noon on Wednesday.
Ch Supt Robin Smith, of Sussex Police, said he could not disclose how the children died, but officers were not looking for anyone else in connection with their deaths.
The car was towed away for analysis and a cordon was in place round a three-storey detached house in Sheepsetting Lane with a “Sold” sign outside, close to where the car was parked.
Ms Donnison had previously lived in the house with her husband, but police said they believed she was now living in Surrey.
Sussex Police have informed family members of the deaths.
