A tragic case has come to light in New York State, where four children were found dead in an apartment along with their mother and grandmother. The discovery has triggered a police investigation that has since revealed troubling details about the events leading up to the deaths.
Weeks of planning
According to investigators and correspondence made public by the children's father, the two women — the mother and grandmother — had been preparing the act for several weeks. The messages indicate that the decision to end the children's lives and then take their own was made deliberately and coldly, rather than being a sudden, impulsive act.
A final message
Investigators have focused particular attention on a message the mother sent shortly before the tragedy occurred. This message reportedly helped clarify the circumstances of the case and pointed to a plan that had been drawn up in advance.
The investigation is ongoing, with authorities working to establish the full circumstances that led to the deaths of the four children and the two adult family members.
