COPS have charged a mother with murdering her 23-month-old twin babies before crashing her car into a lorry.

Samantha Ford, 37, was charged with killing the tots after officers went to a house in Margate, Kent, and discovered the dying toddlers early yesterday morning.

A Kent Police spokesman said: "Samantha Ford, aged 37 and of Castle Drive, Margate, was arrested and on December 28, following authorisation from the Crown Prosecution Service, was charged with two counts of murder.

"She has been remanded in custody to appear before Canterbury Magistrates' Court on Saturday December 29 2018."

Medics battled to save the children – named as Jake and Chloe – but they were pronounced dead shortly after arriving at hospital.

Samantha was transported to a different hospital with minor injuries before cops arrived to arrest her on suspicion of murder.

Yesterday, forensic teams were seen going into the £210,000 semi-detached new build and officers removed two pillows in evidence bags.

She is thought to have crashed her Ford Galaxy on the A299 between Whitstable and Herne Bay, Kent, at around 2.50am.

Police are understood to think the car was smashed deliberately into the back of the truck.

Officers arrived at her home 45 minutes later where they found the tots.

They were taken to hospital but could not be saved.

Just four days before the tragedy dad Steven tweeted a heartbreaking final snap of his daughter  with the caption: “Snuggling with my fav girl #daughter #myworld #twins”.

It's not known if the couple had split but Mr Ford shared cryptic messages on Twitter in recent weeks.

He wrote on December 16: “Everyone has a plan until you get punched in the face…. My face hurts.”

Last night her brother James Emptage fought back tears as he told The Sun: “It’s a terrible tragedy.

“I will pay tribute but not right now.”

Samantha is thought to have moved to the Margate property with the twins just a few weeks ago.
