Three siblings, a boy and two girls, have allegedly been murdered by yet to be identified killers in Nnewichi, Nnewi, Nnewi North Local Government Area, Anambra State.
The siblings aged, nine, seven, five, were suspected to have been murdered by the assailants who swooped on them in their house, murdered them and stocked their lifeless bodies inside a deep freezer in their apartment in Nnewichi, community, in Nnewi.
The eldest of the siblings, a girl, Chikaima Daviana Ejezie, 9 years, the second daughter, Chimziterem Dominica, 7years and the only son, Chimdilim David, Ejezie, 5 years were left in their apartment by their mother, Mrs Chikazor Ejezie, said to be a lecturer and nurse, to participate in an examination on the fateful day the alleged killers of her children struck.
Mrs Ejezie, returned from the examination, and found her apartment widely opened, quite unusual and unlike her children, if they are not indoors, or in the absence of their parents.
Mrs Ejezie was said to be worried on why her apartment will be left so open with none of her children around, and as a result started looking for them in and outside the apartment without finding them.
Her curiosity to know why her children were not in the house and her apartment left wild open, led her to go to the deep freezer to know if they were hungry and didn’t eat their food and probably went out to buy something, but on opening the deep freezer, she met her greatest shock, the bodies of her children squeezed allegedly inside the deep freezer.
Confirming the ugly incident to newsmen in Nnewi, father of the murdered siblings, Mr Udobi Ejezie, who is based in Irrua, a town in Esan Central local government area in Edo State, said he was informed of the incident by his wife who called to tell him about the incident, which made him rush back to Nnewichi.
According to Mr Ejezie, “My wife told me after searching for the kids by herself and a search party, without success, and in despair the deep freezer was opened and behold, the dead bodies of the kids were found there.”
According to the badly shattered father of the deceased siblings, “In the house, a bungalow where we live, we have two other tenants and the landlord, the kids were eating when the assailants stormed the house in the afternoon because we found food in plates that were likely to have been forcefully abandoned by the children.”
The corpses of the kids have been deposited at a morgue and the incident reported at Central Police Station, CPS Nnewi.
The parents of the siblings are badly devastated, particularly their mother who collapsed when the bodies of her children were being removed from the deep freezer to be taken to the mortuary.
