The perpetrators, who were later caught, confessed to cutting out the children’s private parts and breasts. Their plan was foiled when heavy rainfall forced them to delay disposing of the bodies.

Upon entering the building, the community members found the lifeless bodies of the children, with their private parts removed. The police were immediately alerted, and the perpetrators were taken into custody.
The community has been reacting to the incident, with many expressing shock and outrage. “This is a terrible tragedy, and we demand justice for the families of the victims,” said a community leader.
