Man kills four children with hatchet at daycare centre in Brazil
A man with a hatchet jumped over a wall and invaded a daycare centre on Wednesday in Brazil, killing four children and wounding at least five others, authorities said.
The assailant turned himself in at a police station and did not appear to have any connection with the centre, which offers nursery services, preschool education and after-school activities. The dead were between the ages of five and seven, authorities said.
Authorities were searching for a motive, the police detective leading the investigation, Ronnie Esteves, told television reporters in Blumenau, a city of 366,000 in southern Brazil, near the Atlantic coast.
