Bangos said when they had gone to bed, he went into their room with an axe and a cutlass to attack them. He said he used the axe to hit his deceased wife three times in the head and that while she was still struggling for life, he used the cutlass to hack little Revelation to death.
He said he then rushed to the Chairman of the local Hunters Association to report himself, and they handed him over to the police.
