Father charged with child murders

Sister and brother Yolanda and Theo Molemohi died in hospital

Police have charged a 37-year-old man with the murders of his two children at a Manchester flat.

Petros Williams, who is also known by the surname Mwashita, is charged with killing two-year-old Theo Molemohi and his four-year-old sister Yolanda.

The children were found unconscious by their mother at a flat in Whalley Road on Wednesday. Mr Williams will appear before city magistrates on Monday.

Police have found video of the children that they believe was filmed recently.

'Proud'

A Greater Manchester Police (GMP) spokeswoman said the tape was a family video featuring children playing in the flat.

She said: "A man has been charged with the murder of two children in Whalley Range.

"Petros Williams, 37, of Whalley Road, Whalley Range, has been charged with two counts of murder."

The video was found at the Whalley Road flat

The children's mother Morongoe Molemohi paid tribute to Yolanda and Theo and said: "I take pride in knowing that they were polite, caring, happy babies.

"I will always remain proud to be their mother. Their lives were short but they lived it to their full potential.

"I love them very much and they will always be a beautiful part of me."

GMP's Det Supt Geoff Wessell said the incident was "horrendous".
