“You were the best boy ever. Everyone adored you. Love you millions always and forever, your broken-hearted mum.”
Cops will be allocating specially trained officers to support the families throughout the investigation.
Jaydon’s hairdresser girlfriend Rachael Stephenson said she “never imagined I would see this day having to live in a world without you in it”.
She said: “It still doesn’t feel real, you were more to me than just a boyfriend.
“You were my happiness and the person who made my darkest days feel light again. The pain of losing you so suddenly is something words could never fully explain.
“We were meant to be till death do us part, with a happy family together like we talked about for hours. We were meant to make so many more memories together, you were taken from us before your time came.
“I wish I could have one more hug and to hear you laugh and see your smile one more time and to have one more moment with you.
“You had the purest heart. I’ll love you forever, my gorgeous boy. Rest in peace, my beautiful angel, until we meet again.”
Senior investigating officer, Detective Superintendent Steven Maloney, said: “Both Jaydon and Tashay’s families are being supported by specialist officers and our thoughts remain with them at this difficult time.
“We would like to thank the community for their support while we continue to investigate fully the circumstances of these tragic deaths.
“We understand that reports of this nature can be concerning to our communities.
“We have been working around the clock to gather and assess evidence and we have liaised closely with our colleagues in the CPS to reach these two charging decisions.
“While our enquiries continue over the coming days, you are likely to see an increased number of officers in the area.”
