Though police have already identified the two adults slain last week, the children aged 10 and 7 years old, respectively, were not disclosed until Sunday after their next of kin have been notified.

According to Principal Allan Lockwood, Anthony and Eddy, who both attended the Guilderland Elementary School, were described as well-liked by students in the institution.

A statement from Lockwood revealed that the older boy, a fifth grader in the school, had a habit of drawing intricate designs in his classmates' notebooks, with some of his friends thinking that he might grow up to be an architect someday.

Meanwhile, young Eddy Chen, who attended second grade, was described as "curious by nature" and had made a hobby out of science experiments, writing stories, and bowling.

Both brothers had joined the school gardening club.

The Guilderland Police had confirmed during a press conference held Thursday that the family, who were known to be of Chinese descent, were victims of a quadruple homicide.

However, authorities have refused to release further details about the family's death assuring the family's neighbors that they have nothing to fear.

As of Thursday's press conference, the Guilderland Police had not identified any suspect or possible motive for the killing.

They also refuted rumors of seeing a third child, alive and well, in the bloodstained home upon the discovery of the four bodies.

The remains are still in police custody as autopsy reports are awaited.
