JoyNews reports that a devastating and frightening tragedy occurred today, Saturday, January 25th, in Ghana's Asutifi North Constituency.

A mother has been arrested for the heinous murder of her three children, which she allegedly did to be with her new partner.

The three innocent children, Kabena, Afia, and Kofi, aged three to seven, were discovered buried in a small grave near their home in the community of Hwidiem.

According to the authorities, the mother, whose name has been suppressed for legal reasons, had been dealing with personal issues and had lately begun a love involvement with a guy.

However, investigators believe her connection with her children had deteriorated to the point that she resolved to end their lives in order to pursue her new romance without the burden of her motherly responsibilities.

Residents were shocked when officials discovered the children's bodies buried in a small plot of land behind their home.

Neighbors got concerned after realizing the children had been gone for several days. They notified the police, who quickly conducted a search and inquiry.

After questioning the mother, the authorities discovered contradictions in her account and were able to link her to the heinous act.

The mother allegedly confessed to killing her children with a blunt object and burying them in the shallow grave.

She said officials she had planned the act for a long time, believing it would allow her to go on with her life.

"This is an extremely tragic situation," a police officer told the journalists.

"We are still gathering information, but it is evident that this is a case of pure depravity, and the woman's acts are inexplicable. We will see that justice is done for these children."

The community is having to cope with the loss of these young lives, and local officials have asked for stricter measures to combat domestic violence and child safety.

Authorities are continuing their investigation and will file charges for the horrible deaths.

The woman's partner, who is thought to be aware of the circumstances, is also being investigated. The case has shocked the entire community, who are mourning the senseless deaths of three innocent children.

The incident has prompted considerable indignation, with many advocating for stricter legislation to protect vulnerable children and prevent similar tragedies in the future.
