He had claimed they were ‘making too much noise’ in a flat where he rented a room while being on the run from police, law enforcement sources said.
The children’s mother was working a night shift at a cafe when her daughters were killed, while her third daughter, a twin sister of the nine year old, was in bed at the time and remained unhurt.
