Man charged in deaths of two Edmonton children, serious injury to their mother

EDMONTON - A 29-year-old man has been charged in the deaths of two young children who were found in a southeast Edmonton apartment after their injured mother was taken to hospital.

Police are not identifying the man who is facing two counts of second-degree murder, as well as charges of aggravated assault and breach of probation.

Acting Staff Sgt. Terrie Affolder says police were called on Wednesday about a woman who had been obviously assaulted and who was being chased by a man outside. She was taken to hospital with serious but not life-threatening injuries and, a few hours later, a naked man acting erratically was arrested at a garage.
