DETECTIVES are today investigating the discovery of the bodies of a man and two young children at a Southampton garage.
Police were called to Paynes Road Car Sales in Paynes Road, Southampton, at 6.51pm where they made the gruesome discovery.
The man who is aged in his 30s is thought to be the father of the young children. All three were found at the back of the garage which fronts on to the road, close to the junction with Waterloo Road.
A spokesman said: "Officers attended the car sales garage at around 6.51pm where they discovered the bodies. They are not looking for anyone else in connection with the deaths.
"Officers are currently in the process of tracing and informing next of kin.
"A post mortem examination to establish cause of death is scheduled to take place tomorrow (monday)."
The triple death enquiry is being led by detective superintendent Kevin Walton and is called Operation Roselands.
