The Babes in the Wood murders is a name which has been used in the media to refer to a child murder case in which the bodies of two brothers, Derek and David D'Alton,[1] also known as Derek and David Bousquet,[2] were found concealed in woodland at Stanley Park in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

[3] The remains of two male victims (murdered about 1947) were discovered in Stanley Park, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada on Wednesday, January 14, 1953.

Police determined that a hatchet found at the crime scene, which was of a type commonly used by shingle weavers and lathers, had been used to kill the boys by striking them in the head.

Their corpses had been arranged so that they were lying down in a straight line, with each boy's soles facing the other's, and then concealed with a woman's rain cape.

[citation needed] A DNA test conducted in 1998 proved that both victims were male and that they were brothers; they were between the ages of six and ten when they died.
