Dartmoor Haytor fall: Mother and son killed Dartmoor Haytor deaths: Boy's body found after mother and son die
(35 minutes later)
A 24-year-old woman and her five-year-old son have been killed falling from rocks on Dartmoor in Devon. Police investigating the death of a 24-year-old woman and her five-year-old son, who died in a fall from rocks on Dartmoor in Devon, have found a child's body at the woman's home.
They died at Haytor, one of Dartmoor's most famous landmarks and popular with walkers and climbers. The woman and boy died falling between 80-100ft (24-30m) at Haytor, a famous Dartmoor landmark, Devon and Cornwall Police said.
The pair are believed to have fallen between 80-100ft (24-30m), Devon and Cornwall Police said. The body of a two-year-old boy, also believed to be her son, was later found in Dukes Close, Paignton.
Officers said they were treating the "tragic incident" as unexplained. Dartmoor National Park said accidents at Haytor were "not commonplace". Officers have begun a murder enquiry.
An air ambulance, a police helicopter, park rangers and members of the Dartmoor Rescue Group went to the scene after the incident was reported at about 11:50 BST. Police said they were not looking for anyone else in connection with the deaths.
Acting Ch Insp Adrian Leisk, of Devon and Cornwall Police, said officers found two bodies when they arrived at the scene.
He said the immediate area had been cordoned off to carry out a "detailed and thorough investigation to get a further understanding of what occurred".
Mike Nendick, from the national park, said: "When you have an attractive landscape, whether it's on the coast or moors, it attracts people.
"There's always the potential for accidents.
"It wouldn't be appropriate to comment on the accident today.
"But we would urge members of the public to wear sensible footwear and consider weather conditions when walking on the moors."
The park authority added that visitors should stay away from Haytor for the rest of the day.
Dartmoor Rescue Group said on Twitter a team was "called to assist at a tragic incident at Haytor today".
It added: "Our thoughts are with the family." Police have appealed for witnesses.
