Tragic Deaths of Family of Three Revealed: Father, Mother, and 7-Year-Old Daughter Found Dead in Bed with Key Chat Evidence

In a tragic case, a family of three—a 31-year-old civil engineer father named A (pseudonym), a 23-year-old municipal lawyer mother named B (pseudonym), and their 7-year-old daughter C (pseudonym)—were found dead in their second-floor bedroom on May 27. The bodies were discovered in a two-story townhouse after the father's coworker came to check on him following two days of failed contact attempts. Forensic officers found a charcoal burner in the bedroom.

Critical evidence emerged showing the mother had messaged a neighbor requesting CCTV footage to use as evidence in divorce proceedings against the father. The message stated: "Can I get the CCTV footage to gather evidence for the divorce? I want to end this but he won't agree. I'm exhausted. We have a marriage certificate but he won't consent."

A neighbor reported last seeing the family on May 25, noting they had appeared happy when eating hotpot together on May 22. However, on May 25 at 8 p.m., the mother sent the chat message requesting CCTV evidence, after which there was silence. The neighbor heard loud noises and crying sounds resembling an argument around midnight on May 24, but paid little attention at the time. By May 25, the neighbor noticed the house was unusually quiet and still, with the car remaining in the driveway and the daughter not cycling as usual. Growing concerned, the neighbor looked into the house starting May 26 using a flashlight but could only see the first floor. When the coworker arrived the following morning, the neighbor and friends attempted entry, finding the doors locked. After alerting police, they discovered all three family members lying peacefully on the bed as if sleeping, with the charcoal burner still in the room.
