NSW Police have launched a major investigation after the bodies of 2 boys, aged 9 and 11yo, were found in a home in the Blue Mountains. Reports say their 42yo mother was also found with what’s believed to be self-inflicted stab wounds. She’s been arrested and is under police custody in Westmead Hospital… What we know so far is that the boys were found dead in a house in the town of Faulconbridge, about 80km west of Sydney, just before 1pm yesterday. Their father was the one who found them and contacted emergency services. NSW Police Superintendent John Nelson said the woman was known to police, but “only for minor matters”. He also said it’s too early to speculate about what happened. In the meantime, neighbours have paid tribute, with one saying she used to see the “lovely, local kids” riding their bikes home from school together.
