Gunmen have killed three children of a native doctor at their home in Nise community of Awka South Local Government Area, Anambra State.
The killers were said to have carried out the act on Saturday night by scaling the fence to gain entrance to the building.
It was learnt that the suspects dumped the corpses in a parked Mercedes Benz car in the compound before exiting.
Spokesman of Anambra State Police Command, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, told newsmen on Monday that a manhunt for the killers had begun.
“The assailants entered the compound, killed the victims and dumped their corpses inside a parked Mercedes Benz in the compound. The incident happened on Saturday, but we got the report late on Sunday.
“We are trying to unravel the circumstances behind the killing, whether it was due to the negligence of their father or the motive of the suspect and as soon as we conclude our investigation, the report will be made public,” he said.
A source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said the bodies of the three boys, aged between six and two, were found with their mouths tied.
The source claimed the native doctor had a habit of locking up his children and wife in the house while he is out.
“The father of the victims was reported to have been having issues with some unconfirmed individuals. However, it cannot be determined if these conflicts led to the deaths of the three children or not,” the source added.
