Tributes to Izaak and Philip Stevens

Tributes have been paid to two children who were found dead at a house in North West Wales.

Police were called on Sunday night by concerned relatives and say they had to force their way into the address in the village of Trawsfynydd in Gwynedd.

North Wales Police have confirmed that two boys who were found dead along with their mother were suffocated.

Their mother Melonie Steven's death isn't being treated as suspicious.

The following tribute has been paid to Izaak and Philip Stevens by Nicholas Smith, from Gwynedd, the father of Izaak and ex-partner of Melanie Stevens.

He said: "Izaak and Pip (Philip). Two such beautiful boys, lovers of trains, footballs, cars, puddles and tickles. Izaak and Pip absorbed all the love they were given from all who knew them and returned it a million times over. They will never lose their innocent joy at the wonders of the world around them, they will forever be two beautiful little boys."
