Lying child causing issues

So have just taken my 2 away for a lovely holiday all was going well until 3 days before we came home 9yr old suddenly gets very clingy doesn’t want me to leave him even tho I can’t anyway as it’s just me and 2 kids. He basically then tells me a whole story that dad leaves them on there own most weekends in his flat for approx 30mins while he goes shopping. This story was backed up by 6yr old. I asked questions and was what seemed credibly answered, also wouldn’t of actually put this past ex. I had no reason to doubt them as it all seemed credible. He continued discussing it on and off for the last 3 days.

so fast forward to us coming home today and I’m so angry that they have been locked in the flat etc. so this evening I confronted ex to be told he has done it once. I have then re asked 9yr old and he has now admitted lying and dragging his brother into the lie. No reasons whatsoever just did.

ex is now not talking to me as I accused him and don’t know what to do with 9yr old. I have noticed of late he is sometimes stretching the truth but nothing like this. i often feel like it’s attention seeking but how the hell do I deal with this, I’m so angry with him
