A 37-year-old man and a 34-year-old woman have both been arrested on suspicion of murder following the deaths of two boys in Sheffield, aged 13 and 14.

Four other children aged 11, 10, three and seven months were treated in hospital yesterday.

In a statement issued this afternoon, South Yorkshire Police said: "Four children rescued from a house in Shiregreen yesterday have now been released from hospital."

What happened at the home in the Shiregreen area of the city remains unclear, but it comes after reports claim that the two boys who died told a friend that they weren't coming to school because they were 'feeling sick'.

South Yorkshire Police were called at about 7.30am yesterday to reports of 'concerns for safety' for those inside the semi-detached property on Gregg House Road.

The deceased children can't be named for legal reasons.

Post-mortem examinations were expected to be carried out yesterday.

Officers have not disclosed the circumstances of what happened, but they have confirmed that it wasn't a shooting.

It has left the local area in shock and looking for answers.

As school children took to the streets to pay their tributes, the school the boys attended said in a statement: "It is with great sadness that we can confirm that two of our students died in tragic circumstances this morning.

"We must all look after each other."

The local MP, Gill Furniss, said: "I'm deeply saddened by the tragedy today in Shiregreen.

"My sympathies are with the loved ones of the children who have lost their lives.

"Shiregreen is a strong community - I know the whole area is shaken by what has happened.

"My thanks to Police and NHS staff for their response."

The spokesman said that the boys’ family have been informed and are receiving support from specially trained officers.

He said: “Cause of death has not yet been established and a post-mortem examination will be carried out in due course.”

Detective Chief Inspector Simon Palmer said: “Detectives and specialist officers remain in the Gregg House Road area carrying out inquiries and we are working hard to ascertain the exact circumstances surrounding this incident.

The three-bedroom property is similar to many on the north Sheffield estate, but has an unkempt garden with an old, yellow Ford Fiesta parked on the front lawn, apparently abandoned.

Local resident Aaron Brunskill said neighbours came out into the street at about 8am to find around 15 police cars and four ambulances.

He said: “The police weren’t telling us anything. I know there’s children there. I’ve just seen them walking back to the shops and that’s all I know.”

Mr Brunskill added: “There were four ambulances. Everyone got took away in an ambulance. I don’t know if the air ambulance was used.” </s> Police have issued a full statement after two boys died in hospital following a serious incident in Sheffield.

Detective Chief Inspector Simon Palmer, who is leading the investigation, said: “To allow the investigation to progress, I would please ask that people are mindful of what they are posting on social media, and the potential distress this may cause.”

People brought flowers and balloons to the police cordon and groups of young people were see in tears.

One woman laying flowers said: “It’s just so sad. I hope the rest of the kids get well.”
