FROM IGNATIUS OKPARA, Enugu – The Enugu State Police Command has confirmed it has commenced full scale investigation into the circumstances that surrounded the murder of a father and mother by their sons in separate incidents in Enugu, South Eastern Nigeria.

The elder Onyeke sustained severe injuries from the cuts, which prompted family members and neighbours, who were around when the incident occurred, to rush him to a private hospital, in Ogurete, Enugu Ezike. Unfortunately, he gave up the ghost at the hospital.

The deceased’s corpse was after deposited at the mortuary of the General Hospital, Ogurute, Enugu Ezike, for autopsy.

Chijioke, according to the Police has been arrested, and is now in their net.

Virginia’s lifeless body was found lying on her bed after the son finished pummeling her.

The State Police Command PPRO, Amaraizu, who confirmed the two incidents Wednesday to AFRICAN EXAMINER, indicated that Virginia’s body was also deposited at the mortuary of the General Hospital, at Ogurute, Enugu Ezike.
