Two brothers allegedly murdered in their Blue Mountains family home were farewelled by the community and their father yesterday at a memorial service.
The bodies of two boys — eleven-year-old Russell and Ben Smith, nine — were found by their father at their Faulconbridge family home, west of Sydney on September 10.
At the time, NSW police said the boys' 42-year-old mother was also found at the scene with stab wounds, and was taken to hospital in a critical but stable condition. She has since been charged with two counts of murder.
A memorial service for the two boys was held in Springwood yesterday, where their father Nick Smith farwelled his "beautiful boys" in a pre-recorded eulogy, 9News reports.
"It has been an absolute, absolute privilege to be your father ... I will always hold you so dear to my heart," he said.
Smith finished with a heartfelt message for his sons.
"Russ and Ben I love you so much, I will never stop loving you," he said.
