Police suspect the children's mother was involved in the killings. Officials said the main door of the house was locked from inside. Investigators believe the woman escaped by jumping from the balcony after the incident.

She has been missing since then, and several police teams have been formed to trace her.

Family troubles under investigation

The children's father, Niyaz, works in Saudi Arabia. Police said he has not returned home for the past three to four years.

During preliminary questioning, family members told investigators that Niyaz had reportedly married another woman while living abroad. Police are examining whether family stress may have played a role in the tragedy.
