Joshua was found with his mother Neighbour Tracey Cole, told the Western Morning News: "The whole community is feeling utterly shocked and devastated. This is a close-knit community.
"We always looked after each other, especially because of the kids. With Kat we were always in and out of each other's houses. We would see each other every day.
Samuel's body was found at the family's home "I really don't understand what happened. Kat was totally and utterly devoted to her children."
Detective Superintendent Paul Burgan said: "We are keeping an open mind about all three deaths, but at this stage we are not looking for anyone else in connection with the incident.
