Police operatives in Enugu State have arrested a 52-year-old man, Ifeanyi Amadikwa, who allegedly murdered his three daughters and kept their bodies in a spoilt deep freezer.
The unfortunate incident occurred on January 4, 2022, in Emene, Enugu East LGA of the state.
The Command’s spokesman, Daniel Ndukwe, in a statement on Wednesday, January 12, said the suspect was arrested after his wife raised an alarm over the heinous crime.
“Preliminary investigation showed that the suspect’s wife and mother of the children, went to the market with her only male child on the said day, leaving the others in the suspect’s custody. She, however, came back in the evening and could not find any of the three children.
But while searching for them, the suspect drew her attention to the said fridge he had brought back home from his shop on 02/01/2022 and kept in their apartment’s veranda. And on closer observation, the lifeless bodies of the children were found in the fridge with bruises, suggesting that they might have been murdered and dumped in the fridge.
The lifeless bodies of the children were immediately moved to the hospital, where they were confirmed dead by medical doctors on duty, and deposited in the mortuary for preservation and autopsy,” he said.
