The children, aged three, five, and eight years, had been unaccounted for since Saturday, leading to a community-wide search and a plea for information.\n\nThe police have confirmed the grim discovery, with Assembly Member Seidu Fuseini stating that the vehicle's owner has been arrested to aid the investigation. The owner reportedly informed the police that the doors were locked before he left the vehicle.\n\nAccording to Mohammed Juuna, a relative of one of the deceased, the children were found trapped within a stationary vehicle in their community. They have since been transported to the Tamale Teaching Hospital's morgue for autopsy. Ongoing police investigations aim to clarify the circumstances surrounding the children's disappearance and untimely deaths.",
