Dauda Tahiru, 29, and his two children, Inusa Dauda, 2, andSaramatu Dauda, an 11 month baby, were found unconscious by worried neighbours who wondered why the family were still sleeping at about 10a.m.

The three were pronounced dead on arrival at the LapazCommunity Hospital in Accra.

However, the mother of the children, Muntari Latifa, 21, who was also taken to the same hospital in an unconscious state survived. She has since been discharged from the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital where she was admitted for three days.

The family was said to have used the generating set to supply power to their room during a power outage on the night of March 15, 2015.

Briefing the Daily Graphic, the Tesano Divisional Commander, Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), Mr Francis Aboagye Nyarko, said investigations revealed that the family who lived in a compound house at Nii Boi Town Container, put a generating set in their room where they slept.

He said at about 9:30a.m on March 16, 2015, the tenants in the compound house became worried when the family was not seen in the morning, which  they described as unusual.

Mr Aboagye Nyarko said some of the neighbours knocked on the door of the Dauda family but there was no response.

He said the medical personnel at the hospital managed to revive Latifa who was immediately referred to the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital.

The bodies of the three were also sent to the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital morgue.
