A 42-year-old woman has been charged with three counts of murder after the death of three children.
Tania Clarence is to appear in custody at Wimbledon Magistrates’ Court tomorrow, Scotland Yard said.
Post-mortems are being carried out on the three children who were found dead at their large home in New Malden, south west London, on Tuesday night.
The dead children are three-year-old twins Ben and Max, and four-year-old Olivia.
Their father, Gary, who works as a director at City bank Investec, was reportedly away in the family’s native South Africa with the couple’s eight-year-old daughter when the deaths occurred.
