A man has been released as the investigation into the deaths of two children in east London continues.
Police were called to an incident in Dagenham on Friday afternoon. Officers discovered the bodies of two young boys - aged two and five - at the address on Cornwallis Road.
A 44-year-old woman was later arrested at an address in Maxey Road and remains in custody.
A man was also arrested near to the scene but was released on Saturday and will not face any further action, the police said.
Detective inspector Sean Treweek, from the local policing team in east London, said: “This is clearly an extremely distressing incident with many unanswered questions, however at this very early stage, nobody else is sought in connection with the deaths.
“I want to thank local people for the assistance they have given officers as they begin work along with partner agencies to establish the full circumstances of these two tragic deaths.
“They will see additional officers in the area, and anyone with information or concerns should speak with those officers.”
Police believe the woman was known to both children. The investigation continues and cordons remain in place in the local area.
