A deceased Manitoba family is remembered as the beautiful souls described in the obituary

A mother, her three young children, including a two-month-old daughter, and a teenage family member killed in Manitoba have been remembered as beautiful souls.

The obituary identified the victims as Amanda Clearwater, her children Bethany, Jayven and Isabella Manoakisik and her niece Maya-Lee Gratton.

Family and friends also took to social media to share the family's stories, calling their deaths “tragic, unimaginable and terrifying.”

Their bodies were found Sunday at multiple crime scenes in and around Carman, southwest of Winnipeg.

Clearwater's regular partner, the children's father, was arrested later that day.

Ryan Howard Manoakisik, 29, is charged with five counts of first-degree murder.
