Three children suffocated while sleeping in their room on Wednesday night. According to the police, Zahoor Ahmed’s children were found dead at their house situated in Bari Imam, an area in the Secretariat police precincts. Their deaths apparently occurred due to the build-up of smoke from coals which they burnt during the night to ward off the chill.
The bodies were discovered Thursday noon when Ahmed tried to enter the room. He broke down the door when his children did not respond to his repeated knocking on the door. The victims were identified as five-year-old Hasnan his sisters Mishal Fatima, 3 and Kanwal 2.
