Ifeanyi Amadikwa, 52, is accused of murdering his three children, ages 11, 8, and 4, and concealing their bodies in a deep freezer in their Enugu State apartment.
Chidalum Amadikwa, 11, Amarachi Amadikwa, 8, and Ebubechukwu Amadikwa, 4, were the three children that died, according to the police.
The suspect's wife went to the market on Thursday, January 4, 2021, leaving her three children at home. When she went home, however, she was unable to locate her children.
The mom discovered the lifeless bodies of her children in their freezer, according to State Police Spokesperson ASP Daniel Ndukwe.
“Preliminary investigations showed that the suspect’s wife and mother of the children went to the market with her only male child on January 4 and left the others in their father’s custody.“
“She came back in the evening hours and could not find any of the three children. But while searching for them, the suspect drew her attention to the fridge he had brought back home from his shop on January 2 and kept in their apartment’s veranda.“
“On a closer observation, the lifeless bodies of the children were found in the fridge with bruises, suggesting that they might have been murdered and dumped in the fridge,” the statement read.
Meanwhile, the children's lifeless bodies were transferred to a hospital, where medical doctors on duty confirmed their death and deposited them in the mortuary for preservation and autopsy.
The investigation into the suspect's mental state is still ongoing, according to the police.
Meanwhile, CP Abubakar Lawal, the State Commissioner of Police, has ordered the State Criminal Investigation Department to undertake a thorough investigation and prosecute anyone found guilty.
