The medical examiner has confirmed two little boys found dead in their home in the town of Millet, south of Edmonton were murdered.
RCMP have identified the victims as 2.5-year old Connor McConnell and his 10-month-old brother Jayden.
Investigators are not releasing the cause of deaths and so far no one has been charged.
Family friends says the boys’ father, found the children drowned in the bathtub of the family home south of Edmonton, Monday.
Curtis McConnell’s estranged wife Allyson lived in the home with the boys.
Court documents show the couple was in the middle of a bitter divorce and a large part of the conflict centered on the custody of the children.
The same day the boys died, a woman tried to commit suicide by jumping from a bridge in Edmonton. A car related to the killings was found nearby, but police won’t confirm if the woman is the boys’ mother.
