The three are Isaac Amoah, 8, and siblings: Elisha Kakra Adu-Noah, 9, and Samuel Tawiah Adjei-Mensah, 6.

A report cited by state-owned news outlet graphic online shows that the children had left home to play around the area of the incident last Saturday morning and decided to wash down in a pit created by rainwater.

The top soil at the area had been removed due to illegal sand and gravel winning activities.
