__**Father killed his two children before hanging himself.**__

It is thought the father, who was in his 30s, smothered the children, said to be aged one and three, before hanging himself.

He had custody of the children over the weekend, and telephoned his estranged wife threatening to kill the two of them, according to Sky News.

The children's mother is then thought to have alerted the police, with emergency services discovering the three bodies at a garage where the man used to work, in Paynes Road, Southampton.

He had been staying alone in a caravan nearby after separating from his wife.

Neighbours have said the man resigned from his job at the MoT centre on Friday.

Forensic officers were still in the vicinity where they are carrying out enquiries.

A police spokesman said: "Officers attended the car sales garage at around 6.51pm where they discovered the bodies.

"They are not looking for anyone else in connection with the deaths.

"Officers are currently in the process of tracing and informing next of kin.

"A post mortem examination to establish cause of death is scheduled to take place tomorrow."
