News round-up:BRITAIN

A woman and two children were found floating dead in a swimming pool, police revealed yesterday. A worker at the Seymour Leisure Centre in central London discovered the three fully clothed bodies just before 7am.

The post mortem at Westminster mortuary yesterday afternoon revealed that the woman, in her 30s, and the two children, a boy aged between five and seven, and a girl aged three to four, died from drowning.

Police say there were no signs of a break-in or a struggle at the centre, which is operated by Westminster City Council, and it was possible the trio could have been there all night. Officers were still trying to establish how the woman and children came to be there, but said they were not looking for anyone else in connection with the deaths. The three have not yet been identified.
