Petros Williams, of Whalley Range, Manchester, is accused of killing Theo Molemohi, aged two, and his four-year-old sister Yolanda.

The children's bodies were found by their mother at an address in Whalley Road on Wednesday morning.

A Greater Manchester Police spokeswoman said: "A man has been charged with the murder of two children in Whalley Range.

"Petros Williams, 37, of Whalley Road, Whalley Range, has been charged with two counts of murder."

Williams, also known by the surname Mwashita, will appear at Manchester Magistrates' Court.

Morongoe Molemohi, 30, who was recently estranged from her husband, discovered the unconscious youngsters. They were pronounced dead a short time later.

Williams was found collapsed at the scene and arrested.

Paying tribute to her children, Ms Molemohi said she had raised "a fairy princess" and a "well-behaved young man".

She said: "I take pride in knowing that they were polite, caring, happy babies. I will take strength from their high energy and beautiful smiles."
