A woman has been charged following the deaths of two children in the Blue Mountains earlier this week.
About 12.40pm on Tuesday (10 September 2024), emergency services were called to a home on Chapman Parade, Faulconbridge, following a report for a concern for welfare of a woman and two children.
It will be alleged that the bodies of two boys, aged nine and eleven, were found inside the home by a male family member.
A 42-year-old woman – the mother of the two boys – was also located in the home with multiple stab wounds.
NSW Ambulance paramedics treated the woman at the scene before she was taken to Westmead Hospital under police guard in a critical but stable condition.
Officers from Blue Mountains Police Area Command established a crime scene and commenced an investigation.
Today (Friday 13 September 2024), the woman was released from hospital where she was taken to Parramatta Police Station and charged with two counts of murder (DV).
She has been refused bail to appear at Parramatta Local Court tomorrow (Saturday 14 September 2024).
