A baby girl is in a "critical but stable condition" after a stabbing that left two toddlers dead.
A man, 39, has been released without charge, police said. The man is thought to be the father of the three children.
However, he has been bailed in relation to another matter.
Police added a woman, believed to be the mother, is in hospital following the incident on Friday at a home in Carshalton, Surrey.
The woman, 35, is being treated and remains under arrest.
Officers were called to the house at 22:30 BST on Friday and found a five-year-old boy and a four-year-old girl injured.
The children were taken to hospital, where they later died.
A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said: "Police and London Ambulance attended and found three children suffering serious injuries, believed to be stab wounds.
"We believe we know the identity of the deceased. However, we await formal identification and confirmation that all family members have been informed."
Neighbours told Sky News the couple were thought to be from the Tamil areas of Sri Lanka and had moved to the suburb in the last year.
