Police are treating ‘tragic’ deaths of children in Tidworth as suspicious however are not looking for anyone elseDetectives are investigating the deaths of two boys who were found in a flat in Tidworth, Wiltshire, with the body of their father, who was named as Graham Gordon Anderson, 36.Officers affirm they are treating the deaths of the children, aged three and 11, as suspicious however are not looking for anyone else. It is understood they are working on the theory that the father killed the children then took his own lifetime. The bodies were a found when the landlady let herself into the flat to exhibit it to a prospective tenant.Neighbours said the boys’ mother lived in Andover, Hampshire, about 14 miles away and the children stayed with their father at weekends and during the summer holidays. Detective Chief Inspector Ian Saunders, who is leading the investigation, said: “We believe we know the identities of the human beings who have died however formal identification has not yet taken place.”At this early stage we cannot be certain what has led up to this terrible incident however I can affirm that we are treating the tragic deaths of the two children as suspicious. I am not looking for anyone else at this age in connection with this incident.”The mother of the children has been informed and we are seeking to contact other family members. Our thoughts are with the family and friends of those who have died.”Saunders said the bodies were learned by the landlord who was showing somebody encircling the flat as the lease was about to expire. The bodies of the children were in one room, the male’s in another.It is unclear how extended the bodies had lain in the flat however neighbours have told police they were aware of human beings being inside and moving encircling it on Thursday.Detectives were alerted after paramedics were called to the flat in Auchinleck House, Sidbury Heights, at lunchtime on Saturday. Police are refusing to confirm reports that the male was found hanged.Tidworth lies on the edge of Salisbury Plain and his house to many members of the armed services however the 36-year-ancient male is believed to be a civilian.A advertise-mortem on the children is due to capture place in Southampton on Monday. The male’s body was went to a mortuary at Flax Bourton, near Bristol.Superintendent Matt Pullen, of Wiltshire police, said the community had been understandably shocked by the deaths.Neighbours started to arrive on Sunday morning to place flowers and toys outside the police cordon.Karen Ruse, the chairperson of the management corporation that helps run some of the flats, said: “What went on inside that flat has shaken us all. We did not know the male, however he went in about six months ago. We would hear about any disturbances and stuff like that, and there was never any complaints about the male who lived in that flat.”Tidworth town councillor Fred Galvin said the male lived alone, having separated from his partner, and his two children came to visit him from age to age.He said: “I feel sorry for the mum who is left behind. I can’t imagine what devastation she is going through. The children go to college in Andover.”Galvin said the children had been seen playing at the end weekend however over the past couple of days the blinds had been closed.CrimeSteven Morrisguardian.co.uk © 2012 Twitter News and Media Limited or its affiliated companies.
