After chaos erupted in the house, including gunfire, local police surrounded and broke into the home, only to find the aunt, Saida Muhammad Mukhtar, a 55-year-old housewife, “with her head sliced off”; the mother, Amina Ahmed Muhammad, also 55 and a housewife, was found “drowned in blood by the entrance of the house”; and the sister, Sana Mukhtar, 39-years-old and a widow, was found butchered in a room.
The two brothers—Ahmed Mukhtar, 35, and Abd al-Basit, 24—were subsequently arrested, and confessed to the murders in detail.
