A WOMAN has been charged with murdering two young boys found dead in a home.

Police were called to the house in Dagenham, East London, on Friday afternoon.

They discovered the bodies of two boys aged two and five inside.

A woman was arrested a short time later after police were called to a disturbance at a house nearby.

Kara Alexander, 44, has now been charged with two counts of murder.

She will appear at Barkingside Magistrates’ Court today.

A man also arrested in connection with the horror has been released with no further action.

Both suspects are known to the children with cops not looking for anyone else.

The development comes after neighbours revealed they heard shouts and screams coming from the home before police arrived.

IT worker Sultan Wadad, 40, said: “I heard this really loud scream just after 1.30pm.

“It seemed reactionary like someone had seen or heard something truly horrific.

“The fact I’ve got two kids myself makes this all the more harrowing.”

Scotland Yard said post mortems will be carried out in due course with the children's family supported by specialist officers.

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.”
