Two brothers have been murdered in Anambra and their corpses discovered inside the booth of their Toyota Corolla, along the Enugu-Onitsha Expressway, close to Tempo Mills, Umunya, Anambra State.
The brothers, identified as Onyema and Nonso, were believed to have been murdered while on their way home after attending a Church programme along Oguta Road, near Upper Iweka, Onitsha.
Initially, when the gory video of the bodies inside the trunk made the rounds on WhatsApp on Sunday, Jan. 28, most people thought they were the bodies of a husband and wife. But it was later confirmed to be the bodies of the two brothers.
According to a cleric, Venerable Emmanuel Onovo who stated this in a post on his Facebook page, the deceased were brothers who were members of the Anglican Communion in the state.
He wrote, “They are my two sons in the Anglican Children’s Ministry, Omogba, Onitsha years back. I called their parents yesterday to offer them prayers.”
It is not clear why the brothers were murdered but there are speculations that they were victims of a kidnap attempt.
