Tragedy struck in Nnewichi, Nnewi North Local Government Area of Anambra State, on Saturday as unknown assailants murdered three siblings ; a five-year-old boy and two girls aged seven and nine.

Reports indicate that the attackers entered the family’s home while the children were eating, killed them, and placed their bodies inside a deep freezer

Eyewitnesses said their mother, Chikazor Ejezie, a lecturer and nurse, was away for an examination, while their father, who works in Edo State, was also absent when the attack occurred.

Upon returning home, the mother noticed the door was wide open, which was unusual. After a frantic search, their bodies were discovered in the freezer.

The Police have launched an investigation, with the Commissioner of Police, Nnaghe Itam, transferring the case to the State Criminal Investigation Department in Awka.

Residents of Nnewichi Town Union have called for justice, urging authorities to ensure the perpetrators are brought to book.
