The Anambra State government has vowed to track down and prosecute those responsible for the gruesome murder of three siblings, whose bodies were allegedly found stored in a freezer in Nnewichi, Nnewi.
During a visit to the crime scene, the Commissioner for Women and Social Welfare, Mrs Ify Obinabo, assured the public that the government would leave no stone unturned in ensuring justice for the victims.
The horrific incident, which occurred over the weekend, gained widespread attention after disturbing images and reports surfaced on social media.
The victims’ parents, Mr Udochukwu and Mrs Chikazor Ejezie, reportedly returned from work to find their house unlocked-an unusual occurrence, as their children always secured the door before stepping out to play.

Residents and neighbours who spoke to newsmen described the incident as horrifying and prayed for divine comfort for the bereaved parents.
