A North Carolina man was charged with murder Tuesday after authorities said he called 911 and reported killing his children.

Investigators who responded to the home of Wellington Dickens III, 38, discovered the bodies of three of his biological children and a stepchild, the Johnson County Sheriff's Office said.

The remains were in the trunk of a car in Dickens' garage in Zebulon, east of Raleigh, the agency said.

Authorities found Dickens' 3-year-old son in his home unharmed.

The sheriff's office identified the deceased as Leah Dickens, 6; Zoe Dickens, 9; Wellington Dickens, 10; and Sean Brasfield, 18.
