A BABY and his two siblings died from stab wounds to the chest and neck after they were allegedly murdered by their mum.
Fares Bash, seven, Joury Bash, three, and nine-month-old Mohammed Bash were discovered dead in Bristol last month.
Baby Mohammed was stabbed to death at home
His sister Joury also suffered knife wounds in the horror
Fares Bash showed signs of asphyxiation
Their mum was arrested on suspicion of murder but has since been detained under the Mental Health Act.
An inquest heard today how the three children died of knife wounds, with injuries to their chests and necks.
Fares also showed possible signs of asphyxia, Avon Coroner’s Court was told.
Coroner Dr Peter Harrowing adjourned the inquest while the police investigation continues.
The hearing was attended by the children’s dad Alfil Bash, who spoke of his devastation.
It is understood the children’s mum and dad, who are originally from Sudan, moved to the UK around seven years ago.
Police were called to the property in the Sea Mills area of the city on February 18 following a “concern for welfare”.
The Independent Office for Police Conduct has been informed as there was “prior police contact” before the tragedy.
Chief Inspector Vicks Hayward-Melen said: “We know the public are still trying to come to terms with this awful tragedy.
“The community remains together and united in their grief over the heartbreaking deaths of Fares, Joury and Mohammed.
“We continue to be incredibly thankful for the support and kindness that has been shown by the people of Sea Mills and beyond.
“Everyone affected by this tragedy remains in our thoughts and we continue to provide specialist support to the children’s next of kin.
“We have promised throughout our investigation to provide updates and be transparent about any significant developments.
“To help everyone with understanding what happened, we’ll continue to do so.”
