London - A woman, believed to be from South Africa, has been held on suspicion of murder after three children were found dead at a home in southwest London.
Officers discovered the bodies when they were called to a large, semi-detached house in Thetford Road, New Malden, at around 9.30pm on Tuesday.
Sky sources say the three children were disabled and had "life-limiting genetic conditions".

Sky sources say the three children were disabled and had "life-limiting genetic conditions".
The 43-year-old woman was arrested and is in custody at a south London police station.
Sky's Joe Tidy, at the scene, said a South African couple moved into the house with their four children around six months ago.
They moved in after the £1.2m property was redeveloped with mobility equipment.
It is believed the eldest child and his father are abroad, and are travelling back today.
Tidy said officers removed evidence bags from the property this morning.
It is unclear whether the children's bodies are still inside the house.
A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said: "A 43-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion of murder and remains in custody.
"We are not looking for anyone else in connection with this incident."
