Mother drowns three kids under five

LONDON – A young child was found drowned after allegedly being killed by his mum - with two siblings under five and the mom herself still missing, after the children’s father reportedly killed himself.

Cops in Maplewood Minnesota said they recovered the body of one child as of Friday evening. It’s unclear what gender that victim is, although all three child victims are under five.

Meanwhile, the children’s unnamed mom remains missing. Police believe she may have killed her children, then herself, after her husband reportedly shot himself dead at the family home earlier on Friday morning.

The husband has been named only as Kos by his sister, Pa Lee, who shared news of her siblings’ tragic death on Facebook, as well as the discovery of one of Kos’s children’s bodies, and fears the late dad’s other two children are dead too. It remains unclear what triggered the tragic chain of events.

A Maplewood Police Department spokesman said that around 4pm on July 1, authorities were called to Vadnais Lake as getting a report about a possibly suicidal mother who was on her way there with her children.

Ramsey County Sheriff Bob Fletcher said that investigators determined that the children went into the water with their mother in an apparent murder suicide as the children’s shoes and mother’s car was found close to the water.

That spokesperson confirmed that one child had been found dead. Sheriff Fletcher told the media that it’s being treated as a triple murder.

Officials confirmed that the horror unfolding at the lake is related to a suicide at the Rolling Hills Estates Mobile Home Park earlier in the day.

The man who committed suicide at the trailer park is the children’s father and husband to the missing woman.
