Police hunt killers of Anambra native doctor’s three sons

The Anambra State Police Command said it has begun a manhunt for the killers of three children of a native doctor murdered at their home in Nise community in the Awka South Local Government Area of the state.

The yet-to-be-identified murderers were said to have scaled the fence of the building where they gained entry into the compound to carry out the act and subsequently left the compound unnoticed.

It was gathered that after killing the children, they dumped their corpses in a parked Mercedes Benz car in the compound before leaving the vicinity.

The spokesman for the state police command, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, confirmed the development to our correspondent on Monday, adding that the killing occurred late on Saturday and the incident was reported to the command late on Sunday.

The reason for the killing could not be officially obtained immediately, but sources in the area claimed that the reason might not be unconnected to alleged disagreements between the father of the deceased and some yet-to-disclosed persons over a business deal.

One of the sources, who craved anonymity said, “The three young boys, aged between six and two years, were at their parents’ residence at Nise when an unidentified person or persons scaled the fence of their compound and murdered them in cold blood.

“The children were murdered, with their mouths tied and their bodies found in pools of blood dumped inside their father’s car, parked within the compound.
