MEXICO CITY (AP) — A man apparently killed six children and a woman, then committed suicide at a home in a Mexico City suburb, authorities said Wednesday.
The children, four boys and two girls, apparently died from asphyxia, a statement from the Mexico state prosecutor's office said. A woman who appeared to have been beaten was found on a bed and the man investigators believed killed them all was found hanging from a window at the house in Ecatepec, a suburb just north of Mexico City.
Investigators said they found no signs of gunshots or knife wounds on any of the bodies.
Authorities did not release their identities or how they were related, but local media reported that the man had killed his ex-wife and poisoned their six children.
