A 26 year-old man, James Austin Nwubani is on the run after reportedly killing his elder sister and her twin children in Umahia, Abia state.

The ugly incident happened in the wee night hours of Tuesday at Isiama Afara Ukwu in Umuahia North Local Government Area of Abia State.

While speaking with CANDID REPORTERS, the eye witness, Mr Azuka Ubani, said the suspect, James Austin also known as Igwubuike was seen carrying the corpse of his sister at about 3am when he raised the alarm of the suspected murder.

On enquiry of how the three were murdered by Igwubuike, Azuka said he had strange movement around the compound which spur his curiosity for further investigation, that was when he saw Igwubuike struggling to lift the dead body of his sister.

In Azuka’s words : “I said to myself what kind of meat is this boy carrying, I saw it was a human being and I asked him, have you killed your mother? He whispered and said I shouldn’t make noise as I moved close to see what he was actually carrying and I saw it was his sister.

“On the reason why he killed his sister, Igwebuike accused his sister of planting a snake in his stomach that allegedly consumed his food, so he had to put an end to it.”

Narrating further about the ugly incident, Mr. Azuka said he raised the alarm and Igwebuike ran away as no one was able to respond quickly enough to apprehend him.

“Immediately I noticed what was actually happening, I screamed for all in the neighbourhood to come out and he ran away. We searched all through the bushes around and we couldn’t see Igwebuike.” Mr Azuka said.

After the fruitless chase, Mr Azuka said they were also very inquisitive about the whereabouts of the children, Marvellous and Moses ( Male and female)who were just 5 years old as they also decided to go for a search.

“I told them let’s go to the borrow pit and see if he deposited the body of the children there, because I saw him carrying something. I also suggested that after the fruitless result in the search,that we should wait, hopefully within three days we will see vultures hovering around if there’s actually dead bodies around.

“As we were still searching around, we saw a youth named Ogadimma and others, and he said the only spot they saw in the bushes is not big enough to be a grave. So we went to see for ourselves and we noticed it was one of the children that was buried in a shallow grave and another slaughtered in a cartoon covered with ashes.”

On further enquiry, CANDID REPORTERS understands that the suspect carried out the act with a dagger and machete as a scrutiny in the scene of the crime showed that the suspect neatly cleaned the blood on the floor of the room to avoid traces.

While speaking to the parents of the suspect, his mother, Mrs Nwubani said the daughter who was killed by her son is 30 years old. She said her son’s behaviour is quite strange and they never saw this strange act coming, as he doesn’t smoke cigarettes or is known to be taking hard drugs.

CANDID REPORTERS also learnt that the policemen from the Abia state police command have visited the community as they have also gone to the police station to give an available statement of the incident.

According to Mr. Azuka bodies have been deposited at the morgue of Federal Medical Centre FMC, Umuahia.
