<p>A woman is believed to have killed two of her children before taking her own life.</p>
<p>Mother-of-five Melanie Stephens, 36, is thought to have suffocated Philip, five, and two-year-old Isaac and then hanged herself at their home in north Wales.</p>
<p>Police forced their way into the property in Trawsfynydd, Gwynedd, on Sunday night after frantic relatives were unable to get in.</p>
<p>A Home Office pathologist was on Monday night conducting post-mortem examinations to establish the cause of the deaths, although it is understood police are not looking for anyone else in connection with the incident.</p>
<p>Ms Stephens had lived at the house in Chapel Street for about two years, having moved from the nearby town of Blaenau Ffestiniog.</p>
<p>Philip, known as Pip, attended primary school at Ysgol Edmwnd Prys. Her three older children are thought to live with their father.</p>
<p>Residents in the village, which has about 700 residents, said the family seemed &#8220;happy and pleasant&#8221;.</p>
<p>A neighbour, who did not want to be named, said: &#8220;Obviously everybody in the village is shocked. But nobody knows yet what caused this tragedy.</p>
<p>&#8220;I didn&#8217;t know her very well because she wasn&#8217;t from the village and I don&#8217;t think she had many family here.</p>
<p>&#8220;But you would see her in the street and she would always say hello. They were a very pleasant family and seemed very happy. It&#8217;s a terribly sad thing.&#8221;</p>
