Two siblings, aged 12 and 8, have tragically lost their lives after being locked inside a water drum by their 6-year-old sister while playing in Takoradi.
According to sources, Paulina Azari reported to the police at 6:45 PM on January 9, 2025, that she had received a distress phone call from her mother earlier that day at about 3 PM.
Her mother informed her that the two children had been found unconscious inside a water-filled drum in their kitchen.
The siblings were immediately rushed to the Takoradi Government Hospital for treatment but were pronounced dead shortly after arrival. Their bodies have since been deposited at the hospital mortuary for preservation.
Further police investigations revealed that the two deceased children had been playing in their room before entering the drum in the kitchen.
They then asked their 6-year-old sister to close the drum, but the little girl was unable to open it afterward, leading to the devastating incident.
