Following a heated quarrel with his wife, a man attempted suicide in Kaduna on Wednesday after slaughtering four of his own children.
According to neighbors, the wife was forced to flee their Ahmadu Bello Street home following a night of bitter quarreling.
Later on, the middle aged man locked in the children aged between 6 years and 1 year and slit their throats before turning the knife on himself.
By the time the police forced the door open after being alerted by neighbors, the children were already dead while the man was still alive but in critical condition.
The spokesman of Kaduna State Police Command, Zubairu Abubakar said that the man and the remains of the children have been conveyed to St Gerrards Hospital, Kaduna while investigation has commenced.
