The Anambra State Police Command is again,  battling to unravel the actual circumstances surrounding the  gruesome murder of three siblings in Nise, Awka South Local Government of the State

Tochukwu  Ikenga, spokesperson for the Command on Monday, January 6, 2025, said though operatives have taken over the scene of the gory incident, they are still not in possession of the details of the sad situation

According to some eyewitness accounts, the incident occurred on Saturday January 4, 2025, with the three  boys of the same parents killed and dumped inside their father’s vehicle in his compound. Their hands were tied, and their mouths sealed to stop them anybody from hearing their screams.

The assailants were said to have scaled the  fence of the compound of the father of the three boys- a native doctor, before carrying out the dastardly act .

This Magazine gathered that the parents of the children were not at home as at the time the incident took place.

” I think what happened was that those behind the ugly development may have taken their time to monitor the movement of the parents.

The parents usually leave the children at home when going to the farm or any other place .But they normally lock them inside the compound.

The children were discovered,  lifeless ,inside their father’s vehicle a Mercedes Benz, which was splashed with blood,” a witness volunteered .

However, it is not yet clear what must have caused the targeting of the three innocent children.

But not a few are of the strong belief that the incident may not be completely divorced from a case of a transaction gone awry.

“You see the children’s father is a native doctor with some “clients”, or if like patients from different backgrounds.

“In this case, you cannot rule out completely, the possibilities of unkept promises or something close. Otherwise, I don’t see any reasons  for a normal human being to simply go after such innocent children”, another witness stated.

The State’s Police Command Spokesman, while reacting to the development, informed that operatives have  moved in to conduct a comprehensive inquest.

He noted that the bodies of the victims have been evacuated while investigations are underway.

The Police, according to  him, will make the outcome of the probe public as soon as the process is completed.
