The alleged perpetrator of the quadruple murder himself called the police who made the macabre discovery in the family home, before arresting him on the spot.
When the police arrived at the scene of the tragedy, they discovered the four women lying in a pool of blood on the ground with bullet holes on their bodies, according to the “NY Post”.
