Overview
- Officers conducting a welfare check at a Findlay Creek home found two boys dead on Monday and the Ottawa homicide unit opened an investigation into the deaths.
- Hours earlier a burned vehicle was reported at the Kemptville carpool lot and investigators found an adult male inside whom police identify as the children’s father.
- Police say they are treating the incidents as a suspected murder‑suicide and are examining connections between the residence, the vehicle fire and a separate business fire in Iroquois.
- Investigators, with OPP support, have cordoned multiple scenes, begun next‑of‑kin notifications and are interviewing the mother, relatives and associates as forensic work continues.
- Officials have not released names, stress there is no known ongoing danger to the public and say the probe is complex and will take time to piece together a timeline and motive.
