Police officers were called to a house on Bremer Road at approximately 1:15 p.m. by the South-East Coast Ambulance Service, who reported discovering the lifeless bodies of the three children and the adult male inside the home. Details surrounding the circumstances of their deaths remain unclear, but initial reports suggest that the incident is contained, and no other individuals are believed to be involved.
