Claim 5: “The deceased were identified as a man and woman who authorities described as between 35 and 40 years old, along with a child between the age of 5 and 7 and a 4-month-old.”
DISPUTED
While sources agree on the number of victims (two adults, two children), there is a conflict regarding the children's ages. One source mentions a 6-day-old and a 2-year-old, whereas the claim specifies a 4-month-old and a child aged 5-7. The evidence provided for this specific claim in the 'Evidence gathered' section is mostly irrelevant (mathematical definitions of the number 4), but the relevant search results for other claims contradict the specific ages mentioned here.
