"A man, his wife and their child were intercepted at Muyange around 20:00 (18:00 GMT) as they were walking to their home. The criminals had machetes that they used to kill the victims," said Burundian Police Deputy-Spokesman Moise Nkurunziza.
He added that three suspects had been arrested for further investigations.
In a related development, Moise Nkurunziza said that unidentified persons Sunday night blasted two grenades at Kamenge in the north of the Burundian capital Bujumbura.
