A child has been killed and their sibling is fighting for their life after their father stabbed them in their beds and threw them from a 50ft balcony in Sweden, local reports say.

Stockholm police have launched a murder and attempted murder probe after both parents were arrested.

The identity of the two suspects has not been confirmed by police who have only said the pair had a relationship with the children and each other but Swedish media said it is understood to be the children's mother and father.

The father, 45, is believed to have stabbed himself after carrying out the horrific attack.

The children, who are both under the age of 10, were rushed to a hospital in a helicopter.

But the younger of the two siblings did not survive the night while the other child has life-threatening injuries, police said.

A passerby found the children lying on the ground outside the block of flats and alerted police at around 9.45pm yesterday.
 
The Solna Court has ruled to sentence a man to psychiatric care who admitted to stabbing and then throwing his two children off a 50-foot high fifth-floor balcony last year in Hässelby in western Stockholm, with one child dying as a result of the attack and fall.
the man, allegedly a migrant from Senegal, attack his own children, a boy and a girl who are both said to have been under the age of ten at the time. The children were initially stabbed while they were sleeping in their beds in the home. The boy was found dead at the scene while the young girl survived but was treated in critical condition.
According to a report from Swedish broadcaster SVT, investigators subjected the man to a psychiatric evaluation and found that he was suffering from a serious mental disorder and while he admitted to his actions, he denied the charges of murder and attempted murder against him.

Due to his mental state, the Solna District Court has sentenced him to forensic psychiatric care, the sentence which was also sought by the prosecutor in the case.
