Connecticut mom killed her 3 kids before taking own life: cops – New York Post

Police say Sonia Loja killed her three young children before taking her own life. Investigations show that the children were strangled to death. The children were 12, 10, and 5 years old.

The tragic event occurred in Danbury yesterday. The bodies were taken to the medical examiner’s office, and autopsies are scheduled for Friday.

Investigators learned that the mother and children lived at the house with two other adults who were not present when the police arrived.

The father of the family came home to find his children dead, and he called 9-1-1 for help.

At around 6:30 p.m., police said they responded to the father’s call at 10 Whaley St. and found three deceased people, all juveniles. They also found a deceased female in a shed in the backyard. It appeared that the female hung herself.
