Patience Kpezle,38, and her two -Belinda Nyarko,13, and Isaac Nyarko Gafa,11, were found dead in a room locked from outside.
The man has disappeared from the community since Sunday after the heinous crime.
Speaking to the media, the assembly member for the area Dodze Samuel revealed that he received a distressed call from some residents informing him that since last Sunday they haven’t seen or heard from the woman and her children so he came to their house to find out they were dead and locked inside their room.
