Native Doctor’s Three Children Found Dead in Anambra Home

A gruesome murder was discovered in Nise community, Awka South Local Government Area of Anambra State, where three children of a native doctor were found dead.

According to PUNCH ONLINE report, the unknown assailants gained entry into the compound by scaling the fence, killed the children, and dumped their bodies in a parked Mercedes car.

The Anambra State Police Command confirmed the incident, with spokesman SP Tochukwu Ikenga stating, “Yes, we got a report from the Divisional Police Officer of the area about the killing of three siblings who were killed by some assailants and their corpses dumped in a Mercedes Benz car parked in the compound.”

“We have taken over the scene and we have also interacted with those around the scene and the father of the deceased and the information they have provided is helping us to launch a manhunt on the suspects,” Ikenga added.

The incident occurred on Saturday, but the report was received late on Sunday. While the motive behind the killing is still unclear, sources suggest it might be related to a business dispute between the father of the deceased and some individuals.

A source, who preferred 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.”

“Their father, a young man in his early 30s, is a native doctor and a businessman. He is fond of locking the children inside the compound while he goes for business, accompanied by their mother. He would return home to serve them a meal before heading back to his business after locking them up.”

“The father of the victims was reported to have been having issues with some unconfirmed individuals. However, it cannot be determined if these conflicts led to the deaths of the three children or not.”
