Three siblings who were reported missing have been found dead in a parked vehicle at Kobilmahagu Zuo, a suburb of Tamale in the Northern Region.
Information gathered by DAILY GUIDE indicates the children all male and aged seven, five and three may have been trapped in the vehicle.
The Assemblyman for the Kobilmahagu Electoral Area, Fuseini Seidu, who confirmed the incident to DAILY GUIDE said the death of the three siblings has been a big blow to the family.
According to him, the owner of the vehicle is currently in police custody to assist with investigations.
He noted that the owner told them the vehicle had been locked and that he has no idea how the children gained access into the vehicle.
The bodies of the children have been transported to the Tamale Teaching Hospital for autopsy.
The family has since appealed to the police to release the bodies after the autopsy so they can be buried according to Islamic rites.
Meanwhile, Police have commenced investigations and have called on the public to provide information that could assist.
Residents expressed shock over the deaths of the three siblings urging parents to ensure that their children are safe.
