       Police spokesperson Helena Bostr？m Thomas said the two adults - a man and a woman - had a relationship with the two children.

       Cops were called at 9.45pm local time after being alerted by members of the public in the H？sselby area of the Swedish capital.

       Two children under the age of ten were found lying on the ground outside the block.

       A passer-by described the "terrible scenes" where the children were found, according to Expressen.

       Both were taken to hospital by helicopter but the youngest of the two died during the night.

       The paper reports that the children's father, who is in his 40s, is alleged to have stabbed them and then himself.

       Forensics officers are now in the flat where blood was found and the suspects' clothes have been taken away for examination.
