A grandmother has been arrested after police discovered the bodies of two children, aged eight and ten, in a home.
Emergency services attended a home in Coonabarabran, in central-west NSW, at 2pm on Monday following reports of a concern for welfare.
Police found two dead children at the home as well as a 66-year-old woman.
The woman was taken to the local police station where she is currently being interviewed by police.
‘Inquiries are ongoing,’ a NSW Police spokeswoman said.
No charges have been laid.
Meanwhile, a Brisbane woman in her 60s was charged with manslaughter over the death of a baby last year.
Police rushed to a property at Darra in Brisbane’s south-west on April 3, 2024, following reports an infant was unconscious and not breathing.
The 11-month-old baby boy was declared dead at the scene.
Police established Operation Whiskey Nocturne to investigate his death and on Monday detectives charged a 63-year-old Darra woman with manslaughter.
She is due to appear before Richland Magistrates Court on June 4.
