"What the kids' grandmother hoped would be a precious bonding moment between mother and sons as she stepped out of her house in the morning, turned to be the darkest day of her life.
"She only came back to find her house turned into a murder scene, her grandchildren soaked in blood and sprawled on the floor," DCI statement reads.
The woman is suspected to have attempted to commit suicide after the incident.
"Police who visited the scene also found a rope hanging from the roof, suspecting that the perpetrator might have attempted suicide before opting for her heels," DCI added in the statement.
A manhunt for the suspect has been launched.
