The serene community of Emeohe Mbaoma Emii, in the Owerri North LGA is gripped in shock and disbelief, over the gruesome recent murder of two of their own – Mr Anyasodor and his wife.
It was a murder so grisly, so gruesome, so cruel, so terrifying. They were murdered in their home.
While Mr Anyasodor, reportedly, a retired bank Manager, was murdered in his living room, and his body burnt beyond recognition, his wife was butchered in her bedroom, on her bed.
The Anyasodors were, reportedly, murdered by yet-to-be identified assailants on the night of a wake-keep near their home. They were not present at the wake-keep, or, if they were, both husband and wife had left, and gone to bed when their killers came calling.
What surprised most people was that whoever persons killed them did so quietly. They were not in a hurry too. There was no noise, no shoutings, no screams, from the Anyasodor home. Otherwise, such could have attracted the attention of those at the wake-keep.
It was either they met Mr Anyasodor in the living room and killed him, or they dragged him out from the bedroom, killed him in the living room, and burnt his body there. As for the wife, she was slaughtered while she was still lying down on the bed.
Nobody can quite explain why husband and wife were so brutally murdered, or why Mr Anyasodor’s body was burnt. But a speculation, not confirmed, is rife.
Even though all the children of the Anyasodors are, reportedly abroad, the speculation is that one of their sons was, allegedly, involved in an unwholesome business with some people who he cheated out, allegedly, of the proceeds.
To get even with him, the “business partners”, allegedly, went after his parents.
As the bodies of the Anyasodors were being evacuated from their once loving, but now desecrated and violated home, villagers, including relations, watched in disbelief and shock.
Neither the family nor the Police has issued any statement on the double, gruesome, murder.
