Baby and siblings found dead in Bristol home named by police

A baby and his two siblings who were found dead at a Bristol home have been named by police.

Nine-month-old Mohammed Bash, his seven-year-old brother Fares Bash and three-year-old sister Joury Bash were discovered inside a property in the Sea Mills area of the city on Sunday. They were pronounced dead at the scene just after 12.40pm.

A 42-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of murder and taken to hospital to be treated for non-life-threatening injuries. She remains in custody.

Avon and Somerset Police said that post-mortem examinations would be carried out this week to establish how the children died.

A spokesperson said: “Their next of kin are continuing to be supported by specially trained officers and our thoughts remain with them at this incredibly difficult time, as well as everyone affected by this tragedy.

“Forensic post-mortem examinations will be carried out on the children to establish the cause of death and it’s important we don’t give further detail on this until the proper processes have been carried out.

“The post-mortem examinations are not likely to be completed until the middle to the end of this week at the earliest.

“A 42-year-old woman arrested at the scene remains in hospital due to injuries she’d sustained.

“Her condition is not life-threatening, and she remains in police custody at this time.

“Uniformed officers from the Neighbourhood Policing team will continue to be present in the area in the coming days, so residents are able to raise any worries, issues or concerns, and some police cordons will remain in place until our enquiries at the scene conclude.

“We continue to treat this as an isolated incident with no ongoing risk posed to the local community.

“If you have any information which could help, please call 101 and give the call handler the reference 5224042788, or contact us through our website.”
