Police in Merritt B.C. are on the look out for the 40 year old father, Allan Dwayne Schoenborn, who is suspected of slain his three children. The father has a history of violence. In the past week he has been charged with three different charges: driving illegally, public intoxication, and causing a scene by his children's school three days before he supposedly killed them. The children were left with their father for merely an hour while their mother was out shopping.
