According to the caretaker at Deo Juvante Youth Care Centre, Madelein Basson,  one of the children heard crying outside their yard at around 3am this morning but it went silent after a while. So she didn't think much of it at the time.

When she took the children to school this morning, they noticed the ambulance and police on the crime scene. 

Free State police spokesperson, Thabo Covane, told OFM News details surrounding this incident is still unclear but police are currently on the scene busy with investigations.

This is a developing story.
