“I saw something being carried on a stretcher, so it died… but it was too big.”
However, as a result of the police investigation, there were no signs of outside interference.
The police, suspicious of the man’s report, discovered and analyzed weapons and clothes thrown around the flat this morning, confirmed the man’s traces and made an emergency arrest.
He was the suspect, not the reporter.
As a result of the investigation, the man changed clothes to destroy evidence after killing his wife and two sons with a knife at around 8 o’clock yesterday.
The man dumped the weapons used in the crime in a nearby bush away from his house.
The children killed by their father were in middle school and elementary school, respectively.

“I went well. The homeroom teacher came over crying and she was so surprised. I heard that the child went and came well yesterday, and the friendship was going well…”
According to the police, the man had a couple of fights with his wife right before the crime, and it is said that he killed his children using a knife and a blunt weapon while his wife was away for a while.
And, said the police, it appears that he killed his wife, who returned shortly afterwards, in the same manner.
There was no evidence of drug use or drinking.
The police intend to apply for an arrest warrant for the man, and tomorrow they intend to carry out an autopsy on the three mothers who died in order to determine the exact cause of death.
