TWO children found dead in their rural home were allegedly drugged before being smothered, an autopsy has revealed.
Aussie brothers Max, 6, and Sam Johnson, 7, were found dead on May 5 – with their grandma arrested at the scene.
The two brothers were allegedly drugged then murdered by their grandmaFacebookHeggs was charged with two counts of domestic violence murderFacebook
A post-mortem examination has found traces of prescription drugs in the boys’ systems, according to Aussie outlet The Daily Telegraph.
Police allege that the children’s grandma, 66-year-old Kathleen Heggs, gave them medication before suffocating them with a pillow.
Heggs allegedly sent a text to authorities saying the two boys were dead and that she planned to take her own life.
When cops arrived at the scene, they found the boys dead in separate rooms and Heggs with self-inflicted injuries.
She was arrested and taken to the mental health unit at Orange Hospital before being transferred into custody.
On May 21, Heggs was charged with two counts of domestic violence murder.
The siblings were reportedly sleeping when the alleged murders occurred.
Heggs, the sole carer for the boys, moved with them over a year ago to a home on the outskirts of Coonabarabran in rural New South Wales.
According to The Sydney Morning Herald, the move was prompted after the woman “witnessed an incident involving her family too graphic to publish details of, and became known to police as a victim of crime”.
The boys’ dad told the Daily Telegraph that he and his partner had trusted Heggs to care for the children, as they were both struggling with mental health issues.
The couple had not seen the children for five years before their deaths.
“This is not how we were meant to get them back,” he said.
“We are completely broken… but those boys deserve a good send off, and that’s what we are going to give them.”
The boys will be buried wearing their karate uniforms, each with a yellow belt they were due to earn the same week their lives were tragically cut short.
A family friend, who has a son the same age as the boys, said he would see them at karate lessons, football matches and school.
He said there were no clear signs the family was struggling, describing Heggs as a “beautiful lady” and the boys as “cute little kids, full of energy”.
He said locals have been really hard-hit by the news.
“This is a tragedy, and it’s affecting so many. Petty crime happens and that, but it’s a very safe community, we don’t have problems like the cities.”
It comes as investigators found human remains on Friday in the search for Aussie teen Pheobe Bishop, who vanished three weeks ago.
Pheobe’s two housemates James Wood and Tanika Bromley were charged with murder on Thursday, along with two counts of interfering with a corpse.

A WOMAN has revealed that she always lies when she goes on dates, as she’s so embarrassed by her family tree.
Ellie Blythe claims that every time she mean a new potential beau, she tells them she simply has two brothers and a sister.

TikTok/EllieblytheShe said she always lies about her family tree when she’s on dates[/caption]
However, this is far from the truth.
“I’ve actually got 18,” she claimed in a viral TikTok video, posted under the username @ellieblythe.
Shocking her viewers even further, she added: “Not only do I have 18, some of them are also my cousins.”
Ellie said that she does not want to have to explain this on dates, as it is too complicated.
The TikToker gave no further information on how this is possible, and didn’t give any evidence to back up her claims.
However, the post quickly garnered the attention of TikTok users, racking up 200,000 views on the video sharing platform.
TikTok users raced to the video’s comments section to share their thoughts.
One person said: “18 siblings?! what’s your mum? was she a cat?”
A second person said: “have two cousins who are also my stepbrother and stepsister.”
A third person said: “I would happily go on a date with you just so I could hear this story.”
And Ellie isn’t the only person to have an unusual family tree.
Celina, 37, revealed that she had three kids with her husband, before realising he was her cousin.
The secret came out, after her husband Joseph, 44 did a DNA test to find out more about his heritage.
“When I realised that we were cousins, I was a little sick to my stomach”, Celina told Love Don’t Judge.
The world's biggest families
The Vassilyev family
This family currently holds the record for the most children a couple has parented, after the matriarch gave birth to 69 children, including 16 pairs of twins and seven sets of triplets.
Mrs. Vassilyev has given birth to a total of 69 children, including 16 pairs of twins and 7 sets of triplets. 67 of the 69 children survived infancy.
The Radfords
Sue and Noel are parents to 22 children, and their hectic family life is documented in reality show 22 Kids and Counting.
The pair have remained adamant that they won’t be having any more kids, but the amount of grandchildren they have is ever expanding, with daughters Sophie and Millie both mums of three.
The Duggars
Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar have 19 children – 10 sons and nine daughters.
All of their children’s names begin with the letter J.
They also had their own reality show in the United States, and became household names because of it.
The Bates family
Kelly also has 19 children, with her husband Gil Bates.
Of 19 deliveries, 14 of them were natural.
The couple also have 28 grandchildren, with four more on the way.
The Dougherty Dozen
Mum Alicia frequently shares videos and pictures of her family.
She and husband Josh have four biological children together, as well as adopting or fostering the rest of their brood.
The Rosario family
Yalancia and husband Michael are parents of 11.
They had their first daughter together earlier this year, and are also parents to Jamel, 15, Michael Jr, 11, Angelo, 10, Gimani, seven, Armani, six, Sincere, three and Khaza, two.
Their fourth son, also named Armani, was stillborn.
Joseph was in complete denial at first, but after looking closely at the data, realised the truth.
The DNA test confirmed that the duo are third to fifth cousins, and the revelation left them questioning their relationship.
“I thought we were supposed to get divorced, but then I started thinking that for out children we need to stay together”, Celina said.
Celina described the revelation as a “pivotal moment” as “you’re not supposed to be with your cousin, but it happened that way”.
Joseph added that he meant it in his wedding vows when he said: “Till death to us part”, so he decided not to leave his wife due to the discovery.

ITV
With Saturday Night Takeaway and Dancing On Ice on the shelf, ITV has had a vacancy for its next big entertainment hit.
And I can reveal that a star-studded prank show called Celebrity Sabotage has already been filmed and will fill the primetime slot.
ITVITV is to fill the Saturday primetime night gap with star-packed prank show Celebrity Sabotage, with Joel Dommett as host[/caption]
Every successfully executed sabotage mission will add more money to a secret prize pot for the contestants.
A source said: “Celebrity Sabotage will have everything ITV does best at its heart — fun and laughter, a huge cash prize and it’s absolutely jam-packed with celebs.”
The show is set to air on ITV later this year.
I’d love to have been in the green room for this one.
Horror time for Mary
Chris Reardon/MGM+Mary Louise Parker swaps party hats for horror as she stars as sinister Ms Sigsby in adaption of Stephen King’s The Institute[/caption]
Just because she’s wearing a party hat in a first look at new Amazon MGM+ series The Institute doesn’t mean that Mary Louise Parker is all fun and games.
The actress plays Ms Sigsby in the adaptation of Stephen King’s novel of the same name, the director of a shady institution that kidnaps children before putting them through horrifying experiments and dishing out torture in the hopes of them developing telekinetic and telepathic powers.
The series director Jack Bender told me: “Mary Louise’s character is evil, and the villain, and even more so coming, let me tell you!”
She’s joined by Ben Barnes in the series, as former police officer Tim Jameson, and Martin Freeman’s son Joe, as main character Luke Ellis, a super-smart 12-year-old with telekinetic abilities.
And for Joe, the most intimidating part of the new role wasn’t getting to grips of the horrors of what happens to Luke, but getting to grips with being on set away from his family.
He joked: “I felt intimidated landing in Canada. I didn’t know anybody on the whole continent.”
The Institute airs on MGM+ from July 13.
Prime Video will air a series of documentaries about some of the UK’s most high-profile true crimes.
The Orkney Assassin: Murder In The Isles, about the killing of a waiter in 1994, streams from today.

A new sketch show is coming to ITV later this year to celebrate Black History Month.
Say! Less! will be packed with sketches based on the differences between internet culture and the offline reality as part of the ITV Diversity Commissioning Spend, a £80million project laid out over the next three years.
It comes from the minds behind the BBC’s Munya Chawawa’s Race Around Britain and Channel 4’s The Big Narstie Show.
An insider teased: “Say! Less! is a rapid fire mix of viral parodies and absurd character – it’s bold, smart and unapologetically Black British Gen Z.”
Casting is yet to be announced but will showcase talent from rising comedy stars.
And it’s not because the actress, who is the ex-wife of Liam Gallagher, was worried about sharing the behind-the-scenes of her life on the Hayu series.
Surprisingly, it’s because she reckons her life is too boring.
Patsy told me: “I did have a meeting with them, but I live in my little flat in London with my cat, my sons have flown the nest, and I don’t think my lifestyle would stand up to these women.
“I wouldn’t fit with them – but I’m a huge fan and I love the show, Real Housewives of Cheshire’s Dawn Ward is one of my favourites, I’m a superfan of hers.”
The full line up featuresReal Housewives of Jersey star Karen Loderick-Peace, millionaire mogul Amanda Cronin, Ladies of London’s Juliet Angus, Bake Off: The Professionals star Nessie Welschinger, Australian model Juliet Mayhew and socialite Panthea Parker.
Stephen: ‘End of an ear-a’
Stephen Mulhern has passed Roy Walker’s Catchphrase record – but reveals why he’ll never copy his iconic catchline
Stephen Mulhern has now presented more episodes of Catchphrase than show legend Roy Walker – but he’s not following in his footsteps quite yet.
Chatting to TV Biz on the set of ITV’s Celebrity Catchphrase, Stephen revealed a secret behind Roy’s famous “It’s good… but it’s not right” saying, which he’ll never emulate.
Stephen said: “The reason he used to say that is he never used to wear an earpiece to the production team.
“So the floor manager would give him a thumbs up if the answer was right, or a thumbs down if it was wrong.
“So to give him more time, Roy would go, ‘it’s good..’ wait for the floor manager to go down or up… then ‘but it’s not right’ or ‘and it’s right!’. Which is amazing, really, isn’t it?
“I find it fascinating that Noel Edmonds, Roy, Bruce Forsyth, all those legendary performers and presenters never wear earpieces.
“They just don’t like it. Brucie never did it, even on Strictly.”

And presenter and TV favourite Maya, 30, is back with a bang.
She makes a showstopping entrance on a luxuryyacht before heading into the villa to greet the newbies.
The new snaps show Maya looking glamorous as always in a multicoloured swimsuit and matching headband.
The TV star wore her brunette tresses sleek and loose and accessorised with a pair of gold statement drop earrings.
She was seen relaxing at the front of the yacht in the one-piece swimwear.
In one photo, Maya posed for selfies as her hair blew in the wind, while aerial shots showed the yacht heading towards the island.
It comes after ITV revealed its first bombshell – and it’s a good one.
Soon-to-be Islander Toni Laites will be joining the line-up.
The American star, 24, is set to enter the Mallorca house as the first bombshell of this year’s series – and is ready to bag a British boy as she believes they’re “more polite with better manners” than their American counterparts.
But ahead of entering the villa, Toni shared that she is also battling an illness that leaves her in agonising pain.
She said ahead of entering the show: “I have ulcerative colitis. I had to go to hospital the same week as my senior prom.
“They told me, ‘You can’t go’ and then they said, ‘Surprise, you’re going to prom!’
“Nothing that exciting happens in Connecticut, so it was a big deal and a few articles were written about me.”
“What I hope people see from me being on Love Island is that not all illnesses are visible,” she added.
“It doesn’t have to hold you back, you can travel etc…I live my life day-to-day like anyone else.”
The latest news is likely to spark speculation that each impending bombshell could be from overseas.
He told The Sun: “Something big is coming in week one. We’ve got a really big week one planned. It’s hard to say what we’re doing without saying it.
“It’s not a celebrity. We’ve not seen it before.”
Mike added that changes will be noticeable from the very start of the series.
He said: “There will be things happening for the first couple of days we’ve not done before and certainly in week one. During that week, there’s something incredibly big we’ve never done before.
“Hopefully we can do it. It’s quite experimental. I just think you can’t rest on your laurels, being like, ‘This is really popular.’
“We have to keep it exciting and tear up the rule book a bit.”
Mike also revealed that producers have broken with tradition by planning further ahead than usual.
He said: “We’ve mapped out two weeks, which we don’t usually do, to be honest. So we’ve got two weeks planned and one very, very big thing that’s never been done ever on Love Island. Globally.”
Mike recalled telling ITV’s head of media relations about the twist, teasing: “I told Justin what we’re doing, and I never usually tell people, and you were like, ‘What the f**k?’ You were very excited.”

PLAYMAKER Flynn Downes is top of Russell Martin’s wishlist at Rangers — but he will get no favours from his old club Southampton.
Martin took Downes, 26, to the Prem with the Saints from West Ham and previously had him at Swansea.
Russell Martin is eyeing a Saints midfielder who he knows wellFlynn Downes has played under Martin at three different clubs
Downes could fancy the Scottish Prem over the Championship but the fee will be over £10million — which would be a big chunk of Martin’s budget.
He will be busy in the transfer market after being handed £20m to overhaul the squad and may raid England a few times.
Left-back Harry Toffolo is set to quit Nottingham Forest and is interested in a switch to Ibrox after playing only a handful of games late last season.
Martin will inherit Jefte and Ridvan Yilmaz as left-backs, but the Turk has been heavily linked with a return home.
Meanwhile, Martin insists he has no plans to strip James Tavernier of the Rangers captaincy.
He said: “He’s been the captain for a very long time. If he’s playing, I don’t see any reason to change that. And if he’s not playing, it will force someone else.
“First and foremost, I want to speak to him to explain to me and have a discussion about the last two years, his thoughts on the team.
