Police are called to a house in Oldham, presumably a 999 call, knock on the door, no one answers so go away!! 3/4 hours later a relative rings and says that two baby boys have died in the house.
How can this be? Those poor children could still have been alive, when the Police first called.
its a very sad story
i cant see where a relative called, from what ive seen police returned and broke in, perhaps they needed a court order or something.
In this case Im glad to see that a GP had the sense to call the police with his concerns, it appears that it may be a tragic case of post natal depression.
recrx as this person pointed out the police do not need a search warrant

i have had my house searched by the police under the same rules
Oh god that just made me cry! Those little ones are so beautiful - its beyond me how anyone could do that! I would have had them - social services should have taken them away. Its terrible!
Has anything more been said about the mother? Did she suffer from mental illness or perhaps Post Natal Depression? Is there a father still on the scene?
The same thing happened in the South (Surrey) a few months ago. The mother was also suffering PND. There doesn't seem to be enough support for mothers suffering this illness.
hope that works.....the mum was spotted yesterday crying...and shouting....police called round....no answer....then looked for her...eventually calling back 4 hours later......sad.....very sad..
