The 21-year-old mother of two young boys found stabbed to death at their home in north Manchester has been charged with their murders.

Romario Mullings-Sewell, aged two, and his three-month-old brother, Delayno, were found at the house on Kilmington Drive in Cheetham Hill on 12 November.

Jael Mullings will appear before Manchester City Magistrates' Court later accused of two counts of murder.

A post-mortem examination revealed both boys died from a single stab wound.

The youngsters had both suffered knife wounds to the chest.
