Five children have lost their lives after they were allegedly poisoned to death by their mother's lover at Yakadouma, East region of Cameroon.
According to online reports, the suspect gave the children bread and chocolate which had been poisoned to eat.
The source revealed that the lover carried out the heinous act because his relationship with their mother was on the verge of collapsing, and he had invested a lot in it already.
The man who is currently on the run is said to have believed that the only way to deal with the woman and her family was to take her children out. He gave them poisoned chocolate and bread which they died from.
