It sounds like the father murdered the mother and took the three children, age 4, 6, and 8...

How terribly sad.

I hope those little ones are okay. They are beautiful and look so sweet.
Bless them.

Thank-you for posting the article Emmie.


News reports state that he may be driving a blue Honda Civic, possibly with a Maryland license plate number MKZ-237.

Those poor children, makes me want to cry thinking of them with no mother.I hope that they have grandparents that will love them and they don't end up in the system.

Hi Chocoliving,
Is he in federal custody? He would be if he took them across state lines.

I am so glad to hear that the children are safe, and that the suspect is in custody. Gosh I hope there is a loving, stable family member (s) whom the children know and trust where they go now to live. I hope those poor little ones receive the best possible counseling to help them through such an aweful set of events.

From November 2007:

Kelechi C. Emeruwa, 42, was found guilty of first-degree murder and three counts of second-degree assault following a six-day trial in Montgomery County Circuit Court. He faces a maximum of life in prison without parole when he is sentenced March 28, according to a news release from the state’s attorney’s office.

Couldn't find anything on sentencing and Maryland DOC doesn't provide that info online.
