The Enugu State Police Command says it has arrested two brothers for allegedly killing a security guard and his 12-year-old son in an attempt to steal and sell their uncle’s car.
Ndukwe added that the suspects, during the preliminary investigation, confessed to having committed the crime, adding that “they conspired and left Port-Harcourt, Rivers State where they reside with their parents, and went to the mentioned home address, with the sole aim of stealing and selling their uncle’s Mitsubishi Grandis car, parked in his said hometown compound.
“To perfect their plan, they procured the knives, proceeded to the building in the early hours of March 12 and scaled the fence to gain access into the compound. And to further gain access into the main building to get the car’s key, they used the baluster to attack the security guard to get the building’s keys from him.“They went ahead to stab and murder his said son, who was sleeping, to avoid their being exposed by him.
“Upon daybreak, they escaped to Maryland Enugu, from where they were arrested by police operatives while trying to treat injuries the deceased security guard inflicted on them in an attempt to resist and defend himself from their murderous attack.” Describing the incident as sad, barbaric and heinous, the police spokesman quoted the commissioner, Ammani, to have ordered the Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of the State Criminal Investigation Department to accelerate and conclude the ongoing investigation into the case within a record time and arraign the suspects.All rights reserved.
