The two cousins were found dead in the abandoned vehicle after they had gone out to play but failed to return home.

Information available indicates that the car had been abandoned at the location because it was damaged.

Confirming the incident on Nyankonton Mu Nsem on Rainbow Radio 87.5 FM, the Assembly Member, Akwasi Oduro, said the parents of the two had gone in search of them because they did not return home after they had gone out to play.

The police, he added, were informed, and a preliminary investigation into the matter has revealed that the children died as a result of a convulsion.

The children have since been buried.
