Autopsies of two children found dead in a Thousand Oaks apartment on Wednesday revealed they died of multiple stab wounds.

Jason and Jennifer Mulvaney were found dead in their bedrooms inside their father’s apartment on White Ridge Place in Thousand Oaks when their mother arrived at the apartment Wednesday evening.

Investigators determined that James murdered his two children with a knife, which was found inside the apartment.
