The police have said that the victims ran a generator inside their home around two or three days ago and fell asleep. Smoke emanating from the generator filled the house, which suffocated them in their sleep.
Their bodies were transferred to Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre and bruises were found on their bodies.
However, their relatives took the bodies home without a postmortem examination or fulfilling legal procedure.
