Three boys found dead in St. Louis home

ST. LOUIS, Missouri (CNN) -- Three boys were found dead Thursday night in a south St. Louis home in a scene police described as "pretty horrible." The boys were 8, 3 and 1-years-old.

"It's pretty horrible," said St. Louis Police spokeswoman Adella Jones. "Right now there are more questions than answers."

Police were called to the residence on a report of missing children by a man and a woman, believed to be the parents of at least some of the children. A search of the surrounding neighborhood turned up nothing.

The boys' bodies were then found in a room inside the couple's house.

"Right now it's being treated as a suspicious death of three young people," Jones said.

The man and woman along with another man believed to be an uncle of the boys were being questioned by police.
