POLICE TO ACT AS BOY KILLS PARENTS IN ANAMBRA COMMUNITY

REPORTER: UCHE NDEKE

The Police Command in Anambra State has promised to do all it can to ascertain why a young boy killed his parents in Nnewi.

The suspect, who is said to be an undergraduate, allegedly killed his parents after a heated argument over their refusal to give him money.

The incident, which happened at the compound of Moses Nnodu in Abubor Nnewichi, Nnewi, attracted the attention and sympathy of traders at Orie Agbo Market located close to the building.

The suspect, after allegedly committing the crime, locked the dead bodies inside the house and ran away.

Neighbours narrated that they got to know about the ugly incident after perceiving a strong smell from the building.

They also alleged that the suspect was a drug addict, particularly Methamphetamine, known as Mkpurummiri in the local parlance.

Confirming the incident in a telephone interview with Radio Nigeria, the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Mr. Tochukwu Ikenga, said efforts were on to investigate what transpired in the incident.

He noted that the Commissioner of Police, Mr. Echeng Echeng, had ordered that the suspect be tracked down and that the case be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department for discreet investigation.

Speaking on the video that surfaced on social media where local vigilante apprehended the alleged suspect, the PPRO said he was yet to get official information on the development.

He, however, promised to update members of the Public on the incident.
