Timothy Ray Jones to be charged with killing five children

LEXINGTON, SC: -- A US father will be charged with murdering his five children and dumping them in another state, say police.

The bodies of Timothy Ray Jones's children were found buried near an Alabama highway after an all-day search, say local media.

Aged one to eight, they were reported missing a week ago in South Carolina when their mother said she could not get in contact with her ex-husband.

He is currently in Mississippi where he was arrested on unrelated charges.

The murder charges will be formally made when he is returned to South Carolina.

On Wednesday, acting Sheriff Lewis McCarty of Lexington County, South Carolina, said police believed that Jones had killed the five children at the same time.

He did not know why the children were killed.

Alabama Department of Public Safety spokesman Sgt Steve Jarrett told a news conference on Tuesday Mr Jones had led investigators to the children's bodies.

RIP.... I don't understand how a parent could do this but they do. There must have been some major problems between him and his X wife to push a man this far. Child support, jealousy, mental problems for sure..... The kids could not have been to blame.

Very sad that no one seen this coming and stopped it.
