“Preliminary investigation reveals that the suspect, after committing the murder, took poison and died,” Chijioke said.

Eyewitnesses, however, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that the incident occurred at about 8.00 p.m. at the residence of the suspect at 21B Ntueke Street, Awada Obosi in Idemili North Local Government Area.

The source said the suspect’s wife was not at home when the incident occurred.

The house maid reportedly ran away when the incident occurred.

“It was the cry of the house maid that alerted residents of the area. We have never seen this type of incident before,” the witness said.

Another eyewitness said the suspect had been taken to psychiatric hospital several times and had shown signs of recovery before the dastardly incident.

The police later took the bodies of the victims and the suspected murderer to a mortuary.(NAN)
