A mother-of-two has appeared in court charged with murdering her children.
Jael Mullings, 21, was taken into the dock flanked by two female and two male psychiatric nurses when she appeared at Manchester City Magistrates' Court.
She is accused of stabbing to death her sons Romario, two, and Delayno Mullings-Sewell, three months, at their home in Cheetham Hill, Manchester, last month.
A joint funeral for the boys, described as "gorgeous" and "beautiful" by their family, will take place in Manchester on Thursday.
Their mother was sectioned under the Mental Health Act following their deaths.
Mullings, wearing a black jacket, grey pullover and dark trousers, spoke only to confirm her name, date of birth and address as she appeared in court accused of the double murder. She blew kisses to her mother and other family seated in the public gallery for the brief hearing.
Ian Lee, prosecuting, told magistrates Mullings is on bail on condition she remains at the Edenfield Centre, in Prestwich, Greater Manchester, a mental health unit, where she will be given treatment.
Colin Thompson, chairman of the bench, granted bail on condition Mullings remains at the Edenfield Centre, and the case was committed to Manchester Crown Court for a further hearing on December 17. No pleas were entered by Mullings.
Police were called to the family home in Kilmington Drive, Cheetham Hill, shortly before 5.45pm on November 12 following reports of concern for the children's welfare.
The boys' bodies were discovered and post-mortem examinations showed both died as a result of a single stab wound to their chests.
