The three children who were found dead at a home in Bristol died from knife injuries, Avon and Somerset Police have confirmed.
Seven-year-old Fares Bash, three-year-old Joury Bash and nine-month-old Mohammed Bash were found dead at a property in the Sea Mills area of the city on Sunday.
A 42-year-old woman arrested on suspicion of their murder remains in hospital.
In statement released on Friday, Chief Inspector Vicks Hayward-Melen said: “The loss of such young children, who had their whole lives ahead of them, is truly heartbreaking and our thoughts remain with their family and everyone affected by this tragedy.
Their next of kin will continue to get all the assistance and support they require from our specialist liaison officers.
“Forensic postmortem examinations have been conducted on the children during the last three days. It is now confirmed that knife wounds were the cause of death for every youngster.
A 42-year-old lady who was detained on suspicion of killing them is still receiving non-life-threatening medical attention in a hospital.
