Police are pursuing the killers of a couple in Anambra
The Anambra State Police Command has initiated a search for the suspected murderers of the couple discovered dead in a car trunk along the Enugu-Onitsha Expressway on Wednesday. DSP Ikenga Tochukwu, the command’s Public Relations Officer, announced the commencement of the investigation in a statement released on Wednesday.
The lifeless bodies of a man and a woman, bearing violent marks and gunshot wounds, were found in an abandoned vehicle along the Enugu-Onitsha Expressway. Discovered by passersby in the early hours of the day near Tempo Junction, Umunya, the bodies exhibited fresh blood, and expanded cartridges were also found at the scene.
The police suspect that the couple was murdered and subsequently abandoned at the scene. The recovered bodies have been taken to the mortuary for an autopsy. The black Corolla vehicle with the registration plate number Lagos AAA 621 EU, in which the bodies were found, has also been retrieved. The police from Oyi Division, led by the DPO, recovered the bodies at about 7:30 am on January 24, 2024, along the Enugu-Onitsha Expressway. Investigations into the incident have commenced.
“The police operatives also found some expended cartridges at the scene along with the abandoned vehicle. The bodies of a man and a woman, showing signs of violence and gunshot injuries, have been deposited in the morgue, and investigations are underway.
Initial findings indicate that the victims, a man and a woman, were murdered and left in a black Corolla with the license plate Lagos AAA 621 EU.”
A circulating video on social media captures the dark-colored Toyota Corolla, doors ajar, surrounded by onlookers, as the two lifeless bodies are discovered in the car's trunk.
The blood seeping from beneath the vehicle's trunk suggested that the victims were recently subjected to a cold-blooded murder.
The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) confirmed the incident when contacted.
Notably, in the previous month, an incident occurred where a man was reportedly shot in the leg during an attack, resulting in the tragic murder of two policemen in a suspected kidnapping attempt. The incident unfolded in Uga, a community located in Aguata Local Government Area of Anambra state on December 29, 2023.
