The baby and toddler allegedly stabbed to death by their mother in Manchester have been named by police.
The bodies of Romario Mullings-Sewell, two, and his three-month-old brother Delayno were discovered at a property in Cheetham Hill, Manchester.
Their 21-year-old mother Jael Mullings, who is being held on suspicion of murder, has been sectioned under the Mental Health Act.
Police said both children were found with a single stab wound to the abdomen.
The boys' grieving family said in a statement: "This family had two beautiful, innocent children called Romario who was just two-years-old, and his brother Delayno who had only been born in July this year.
We, as a family, are struggling to come to terms with the tragic events and we cannot even begin to understand what happened.- statement from the family of brothers Romario and Delayno
"Everybody is completely devastated and although we appreciate the interest of the press we would be very grateful if the family could be left in peace to begin the grieving process.
"We hope that wherever the boys have gone to they are at peace."
A number of neighbours said the young mother had been troubled in recent months.
