A man from North Carolina was taken into custody following a chilling 911 call on Monday evening, where he confessed to having killed his children.

According to the Johnston County Sheriff’s Office, authorities arrived at a residence in Zebulon to find Wellington Delano Dickens III. He informed them that while his 3-year-old son was unharmed inside the house, the bodies of his biological children, aged 6, 9, and 10, along with his 18-year-old stepson, were in the trunk of a car located in the garage.

Upon investigation, deputies discovered what appeared to be human remains inside the trunk, which seemed to have been there for an extended period.

The remains have been sent to the State Medical Examiner’s Office for autopsies and confirmation of identities. Dickens, aged 38, was subsequently charged with one count of murder.

Additional charges are anticipated once the identities of the deceased are confirmed.

Currently, Dickens is held without bond at the Johnston County Jail.
