Police in south-west London has discovered the bodies of three young children at a house in New Malden.

The bodies was found on Tuesday night after police were called to the property.

It is understood that a family originally, from South Africa, have been living at the house for over a year.

According to reports, the children are thought to have suffered from a genetic disorder, which is believed to be life-limiting.

Police have arrested a 43-year-old woman in connection with the find, but have not released any more details.

The cause of the deaths is still being investigated and police are believed to have removed a number of evidence bags from the property.
