Saskatchewan RCMP says the June 4 fire in North Battleford where police found a mother and her two kids dead is being considered a murder-suicide.
The fire happened at a home in the 1400 block of 99th Street at about 2:30 p.m.
When crews arrived they found Tammy Fiddler, 39, dead outside the home. Her two kids, Tessa Bryant, 7, and Wesley Bryant, 11, were found dead inside the home, police say.
It was reported to police the woman’s common-law partner removed her from the home, prior to the arrival of emergency responders.
