A tragic incident occurred in Nnewichi, Nnewi North Local Government Area of Anambra State, on Saturday when unknown attackers killed three siblings—a five-year-old boy and two girls aged seven and nine.
Reports said the killers entered their home while the children were eating, murdered them and placed their bodies inside a deep freezer in one of the rooms.
Eyewitnesses said their mother, Chikazor Ejezie, a lecturer and nurse had gone out for an examination, while their father, who works in Edo State, was also away when the incident occurred.
“When the mother returned, she noticed the house was wide open, which was unusual because the children always locked the door when going out.
“After searching everywhere, their lifeless bodies were later found in the freezer. Investigations suggest they were killed and dumped inside,” an eyewitness said.
Speaking on Monday, the father of the deceased, Ejezie Udochukwu, said he was in Edo state when his wife called to inform him of the tragedy, and he rushed to Nnewichi.
Udochukwu said, “When my wife got home, she didn’t see the children. She and others searched for them, even at the church where they served as altar boys and girls, but they weren’t there.
“Eventually, in desperation, they opened the deep freezer, and that’s where their bodies were found. We live in a bungalow with two tenants and our landlord. The children were eating when the attackers came around noon. There were still plates with food that looked like they had been left in a hurry.
“Their bodies have been taken to the morgue, and the case has been reported to the Central Police Station in Nnewi. The police are investigating. I am devastated—three of my children were killed at the same time by unknown people.”
Confirming the incident, the state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, said the Commissioner of Police, CP Nnaghe Itam, has ordered a full investigation.
“The bodies have been recovered, and the CP has transferred the case to the State Criminal Investigation Department in Awka for thorough investigation. More details will be shared later,” Ikenga said.
Meanwhile, residents of Nnewichi have called for a proper investigation and justice for the murdered children.Three siblings killed in Anambra

ReplyDeleteKai!! Jesus is Lord!!!!
ReplyDeleteThere are misfortunes and calamities that befall people, that leaves me in utter shock!!!
How will this couple cope? Will they ever be the same again? Will they ever recover from this? Will they forgive themselves for not being there when this happened? My God!!!
This is just sad. No one deserves to have this happen to them. No one!
RIP angels. May the killers know no peace until they confess.
The parents can never be the same again oo๐ญ๐ญ uncle Ali B

The evil acted out by the murderer must never go unpunished. When they capture them now they would give one flimsy excuse for the evil act committed by them

One thing about this thing is that the killer will go scores free .why the victim remain in pains and sorrow,their life can never remain the same again they will find it difficult to forgive the
ReplyDeleteperson that did this to them. but the killer we ask God for forgiveness and God will forgive him or her, because
our God is a merciful God. The killer will give his/her life to Christ and start preaching the gospel.
If truly there is heaven and hell the Killer will make heaven because God has forgive him/her. Why the victim that's the parent of this children will go to hell because of unforgiveness.
It's well.
Ice fish seller, what you have written is truly deep.
DeleteGod is not some poetry character
DeleteMan's Inhumanity to Man . May the perpetrators of this evil act be caught ๐๐ป
ReplyDeleteOmg๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of wicked and heartless people did this?
Lord please console this couple.
The investigation should start from the couple, especially the man. This looks like a scorned lover vendetta to me. The Police should investigate their past love lives and check if anyone is cheating currently amongst them…check their call and chat history too.
ReplyDeleteI feel so sad!
Exactly what I told my mom yesterday while we were on the issue.
DeletePure wickedness
ReplyDeleteOh poor kids! Rest in peace darlings.
ReplyDeleteMay your killer (s) be fished out and punished.
This looks like a crime of passion or from a very angry spouse/ex.
The police should start from the family by conducting DNA tests on the children. They might have been discovered to belong to another man and their supposed dad who works in Edo state may have arranged for them to be eliminated.
They should also locate their mum and dad's exes and current lovers (if any) and investigate them.
Pure evil ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
ReplyDeleteHow did we get here as human beings? This kind of occurrence happened in Ilorin like 2 years ago
ReplyDeleteThis is so pathetic.
ReplyDeleteBut I just hope the kids didn't carelessly play their way into the deep freezer.
Children play rough a lot.
