The Police in Rivers State have uncovered a soak-away filled up with about 20 corpses in Jesus Avenue, Umuebule One, in Etche Local Government Area of Rivers State.
The suspected killer and owner of premises where the corpses were discovered is a trader in Ogbunabali Road, Port Harcourt City.
The discovery was made when a trader in Aba, in Abia State, left the address and phone number of the suspect with his wife, upon departure, on invitation, to collect the sum of N500,000, being cost of goods he supplied to the suspect on credit, at his(suspect’s) house.
After waiting for 48 hours without seeing her husband back, the wife of the victim was said to have reported to the Police, who went into investigation.
On interrogation, the suspect took the Police to his house where five freshest corpses were recovered from a 20ft suckaway exclusively dug for dumping of corpses.
The pit, said to have been dug in 2016, has about 15 more corpses yet to be recovered.
While the wife of the suspect has since abandoned her four children and ran away, two grown-up children of the suspect have also taken to their heels.
But two little children of the suspect were said to be demonstrating how their evil father strangled his victims in their profane gaze.
They hinted that their father sternly warned them not to tell anyone of evil act, else he would also apply same treatment to the toddlers.
The crime scene is said to be attracting myriad number of people just as The Commissioner of Police, Rivers State Command, is said to have just visited the scene.
