The lifeless bodies of a man and a woman, with violent marks and gunshot wounds, were discovered in the trunk of an abandoned vehicle in the early hours of Wednesday.
Passers-by saw blood dripping from the car trunk parked by the roadside along the highway linking Enugu, the capital city of Enugu State and Onitsha, the commercial hub of Anambra State and alerted the police.
Police investigation revealed that the couple were murdered in cold blood by unknown persons and their corpses were stuffed in the car trunk while the killers took to their heels.
The Anambra police spokesman Ikenga Tochukwu called the corpses a “poignant reminder of crime”, saying the police are hunting the unknown killers.
