A grandmother has been charged with the alleged double murders of two schoolboys in NSW’s west.
The brothers, aged seven and six, were found dead at a semi-rural property on the outskirts of Coonabarabran in north-west NSW on Monday afternoon.
Police charged the boys’ 66-year-old maternal grandmother with two counts of murder.
She was refused bail and will appear at Parramatta Bail Court on Saturday, police said.
On Monday afternoon, two officers went to the home after a message sent to the communities and justice department triggered an emergency response.
The officers broke into the house to find the boys’ bodies in separate bedrooms, while their grandmother was nearby. She was arrested and taken to hospital.

The woman was taken to Orange Police Station after she was released from hospital on Friday.
