Three little girls were found dead this week after accidentally locking themselves in a family car where they suffocated in 35C heat.
The young cousins named Agatha Morales, nine, Shamel Alghela Morales, eight, and Pauline Keziah Morales, six, were playing together in Bataan province, the Philippines on May 13.
Agatha’s father Jessie Morales, 31, an oil refinery worker, returned home from work at 4pm and parked the green car outside their home. But after going inside to eat, the youngsters are believed to have opened a door and climbed inside to play – before it locked behind them and they were unable to get out again.
A friend of the young girls noticed them four hours later at around 8pm. They were all lifeless inside the vehicle.
. She ran to tell the two parents who were at home a few yards away. Jessie ran outside and found the three children inside the vehicle but they were already dead.
