According to QQ.com (via the Daily Mail), local police have surmised that the girls climbed a cement mixer without any one noticing. The machine reportedly had been left idle but for some reason, still plugged in. It is believed that the heavy-duty machine was accidentally turned on when the children climbed into it.
