Man accused of seaside killings

Police investigating the deaths of a mother and her two sons in their seaside home in Hemsby, Norfolk, last night charged a man with their murders.

The bodies of Deborah Brackhahn-Hughes, in her thirties, James, seven, and Matthew, six, were found on Friday night. Post-mortem examinations showed they died from asphixiation. Martyn Hughes, 37, charged with murdering all three, is due to appear before magistrates in Great Yarmouth today.
