‘How three siblings died of suffocation inside parked car in Anambra’

Against reports on Sunday that three children from the same parents were slaughtered by an unknown killer, fresh facts emerged this Monday that they died of suffocation inside their father’s car parked in their compound.

It has also been discovered that there were no marks on their bodies to suggest that they were killed with any weapon and that they were not tied with ropes.

According to the President General of Nise Community in Awka South Local Government Area of Anambra State, Chief Anthony Nwabuona:

“We got a distress call from the head of our local vigilante group about the death of the children, and we rushed to the compound to see the children lifeless. It was also confirmed that they entered their father’s car and were playing inside the car. They pinned down the lock of the car but couldn’t open it.”

“The youngest of them had her body swollen as a result of lack of air because the windows of the car were closed. So we wish to state that they were not slaughtered as was earlier reported, and we have made an official entry with the police over the sad incident,” he noted.

Corroborating the report of the President General, the vigilante group’s leader explained that:

“We got the information and rushed to the house immediately. We saw the parents of the children and sympathisers crying. The father of the children said that the gate of his house was locked, and when he opened the gate, he could not find his children in the rooms. He went out in search of his children but couldn’t find them.”

“The father, however, looked inside his car and found the three children—two boys and one girl—and they were all dead,” he said.

Continuing, Nwabuona stated that it was wrong for the parents to have left the under-aged children at home without a grown-up person to stay with them, noting that had an elderly person been at home, the incident would have been avoided.

Confirming this report, the Anambra Police Public Relations Officer, SP Tochikwu Ikenga, said that the Command has been briefed and that the father of the three children has been interviewed over the incident.

“The command has received the report, and it is already under investigation. Meanwhile, the father of the victims has been interviewed, and we are working with the necessary information provided,” he said.

The President General of the Community also confirmed that the three children have been buried after the police confirmed that they were not killed by anyone but died of suffocation.
