A Sudanese woman has been accused of murdering three children, including a
nine-month-old baby boy, at a home in Bristol in the early hours of
Saturday evening.

The children are believed to be Fares Bash, a seven-year-old-boy, Joury
Bash, a three-year-old girl, and Mohammed Bash, a nine-month-old baby boy.

The 42-year-old woman, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, is
being held in custody in hospital, where she is recovering from non life-
threatening injuries.

Avon and Somerset Police said post-mortem examinations are expected to be
finished by the end of the week.

The alleged murder is an isolated incident with no further threat to the
community, police said.

It is understood that the woman and her husband had moved from Sudan to
the UK around seven years ago.

The woman is said to have been struggling with her mental health in the
weeks beforehand, according to Sudanese friends, and had been in contact
with social services.

The eldest child is understood to have attended Sea Mills primary school,
which temporarily closed its doors on Monday morning.

Social media pictures show a joyful Fares dressed in traditional Sudanese
clothing and giving a thumbs up to the camera. Joury can be seen smiling
with friends in front of a cake.

Chief Inspector Vicks Hayward-Melen, in a press conference outside the
family home in the suburb of Sea Mills, confirmed that next of kin have
been informed and are being supported by specialist officers.

She said: “We have been humbled by the community response to this tragedy.
At a time of great sadness and disbelief, we’ve seen spontaneous acts of
care and support.

“Within hours of the incident occurring, a local church was opened up for
people to gather and mourn.

“The death of such young children is a great shock to the whole community,
and this incident has had a profound and deep impact on all of us in the
police.”

The force confirmed that it has referred itself to the police watchdog
because it had contact with the family earlier this month.

Salwa Bashar, an NHS nurse and friend of the family, described the
children as “the most beautiful souls” and said: “Those children were very
happy – they were amazing.

“The oldest child, Fares, was a very smart bubbly boy. He was very
friendly, he was very curious about everything. His attitude was like an
adult.

“I just can’t believe it. I don’t even want to believe it.”
