USA, three children from Baltimore killed and beheaded

BALTIMORE – Three children from Baltimore were found decapitated in their home. The victims are a 10-year-old boy and two girls of nine, perhaps twins. The bodies were discovered by the mother when she returned home Thursday afternoon. The woman, who speaks English badly, raised the alarm to a neighbor who called the police.

Investigators, who have found a weapon outside the accommodation, but do not reveal which, are questioning an individual, defined as “a person of interest for the investigation”. But the same policemen point out that the person in question, stopped a few blocks away from the house of the tragedy, may have no connection with the triple murder.

Experienced police officers have described the crime scene as the worst they have ever seen in their careers.
