Meraj Ul Zahra, aged two, and Abdul Momin Alfaateh, three, were discovered unresponsive with injuries inside a home on Corporation Street. Both children were pronounced dead at the scene.

A 43-year-old woman from the Stafford area has been arrested on suspicion of murder and remains in custody as investigations continue. A police cordon is currently in place around the property on Corporation Street. The incident has been referred to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) as part of standard procedure following prior police contact. Detective Inspector Kirsty Oldfield stated, "We are working hard to understand more about what happened leading up to these two children tragically losing their lives. We ask that people do not speculate at this stage as it is distressing for family and friends and could hinder our inquiries. We understand that this incident may cause concern in the local community. We don't believe there is a wider threat to the public at this time." Emergency services responded swiftly, with two ambulances and two paramedic officers dispatched to the scene. A spokesperson for West Midlands Ambulance Service reported, "On arrival of ambulance staff we discovered two patients, both children. Sadly, it quickly became apparent nothing could be done to save them and they were confirmed dead at the scene." Local resident Luke Browne, a 61-year-old bookshop owner, expressed his shock at the incident. He remarked, "Children dying is a horror. It's very sad. It's quite painful to hear it." Browne, who has lived in the area for a year, added, "Everybody I've met has been lovely."
