After gaining entry, he found Viviana and her three kids sleeping.
After García, 32, woke up to find him in her home, the former couple began arguing.
Paz, 38 reportedly flew into a rage when he found an ID card belonging to another man in the house.
He allegedly grabbed a knife from the home and began attacking García.
The terrified kids, who’d been woken up by the noise, shut themselves in the bathroom.
But, Paz, allegedly broke down the door and began stabbing Eiberson Adrián Cumana García, 10, Emerson Aron Cumana García, seven, and five-year-old, Mía Scleisher Cumana García.
After killing all four family members, he stayed at the scene in Caracas, Venezuela, until 5am on Friday (23 Aug), when he left for work.
The victims’ bodies were then found by García’s mum.
She had gone to the family home after losing contact with her daughter and grandkids.
Local media revealed on Monday, (26 Aug), that Paz had been caught and arrested in another part of the city.
Detectives also found the murder weapon and the clothes he was wearing at the time.
Paz is not their biological dad, as reported by Need To Know.
He is now in custody awaiting trial accused of four counts of murder.
