The mother who was found dead with her two-year-old daughter killed them both with drugs, a court has heard.

NHS worker Shiwangi Bagoan, 25, and Ziana Bagoan were found dead at their home in Old Meadow Lane, Hounslow, west London on December 14.

The toddler's grandmother found the pair with cannulas - medical tubes used to administer medication into veins - in their arms in Shiwangi's bedroom in the flat shortly after 4pm that day.

West London Coroner's Court coroner Lydia Brown said that both the child and the mother had been injected with drugs potentially taken from the mother's place of work.

Police are investigating the deaths but have said they do not believe anyone else was involved.

Ms Bagoan worked as an anaesthetist's assistant for University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

Police released a picture of the mum and daughter after they were found dead in their Hounslow flat on Monday.

The inquests were adjourned until a date to be fixed.
