Dozens of police officers were present to try to persuade the man to release the victims, but were unsuccessful. Fearing that he might set the victims on fire, police dispatched three fire trucks to stand by.
More than 2 hours later, the police broke down the door but were only able to rescue the wife. The two children were still under his control in the bedroom. At dawn on November 17, the man agreed to release the two children.
