A man and a woman suspected to be husband and wife have been murdered by some yet yet-to-be-identified gunmen in Anambra state.
The assailants stuffed the dead bodies of the couple in the boot of a car, a Toyota Camry with the registration number: EE-621-EU.
The back car was parked at a deserted section along the Tempo Junction, Umunya axis of the Enugu-Onitsha Expressway.
The two fresh blood-dripping corpses were seen by passers-by in the early hours of Wednesday.
In a viral video on social media, the passers-by were seen flocking the Toyota camry and inspecting it. The vehicle doors were wide open while the two fresh corpses were dumped inside the boot.
The condition of the corpse and the dripping of blood from beneath the vehicle showed the deceased may have been murdered not long ago.
The Police Public Relations Officer of the Anambra State Police Command, DSP Ikenga Tochukwu, confirmed the incident.
Ikenga added that the police personnel attached to the Oyi Division have recovered and deposited the two lifeless bodies in a mortuary, while investigations have commenced to unravel the circumstances surrounding their deaths.
