Tragedy struck in Amaja community as the bodies of a couple
simply identified as Mr and Mrs Marel Abah were discovered with their
throats slit on Wednesday, September 21.
According to Vanguard, the couple was staying in a house that was isolated from other building in the community in a town between Enugu and Benue in Igbo-Eze north local government area of Enugu
It was reported that at about 2.15 am, some unidentified men entered the house where the couples were sleeping and slit their throats. Due to the remoteness of the house, the crime was not discovered until the perpetrators had escaped.
The unfortunate incident elicited public reaction and the police had to intervene to restore peace and order.
Mr. Ebere Amaraizu, the state police public relations officer said the couple were slaughtered like sacrificial lambs and left to bled to death.
“The men gained access into the house located in an isolated axis of the town, had their throats slashed with knife like a sacrificial lamb. They were left in a pool of their own blood.
“The couple bled profusely and as a result, gave up the ghost before it could be noticed. The attention of the security operatives were however drawn to the unfortunate incident by members of the community. A full scale investigation has commenced into the alleged incident with a view to identifying those behind the dastardly act.
“The corpses have been deposited at the hospital morgue of Ogurute General Hospital for autopsy.”
