“After registering the incident, some police officers were detailed to retrieve the car from the church premises but on getting to the scene, they saw the suspect whose identity could not be ascertained, standing by the vehicle.
“The suspect, on sighting the security agents, took to his heels and was chased to a nearby bush where he was caught and while he was struggling with the police, he stabbed Mr. Solomon Ughere, and the complainant, Mr. Lucky Aki, that held him.
“While Mr. Solomon Ughere died before getting to the hospital, Mr. Lucky died after arriving at the Ughelli Central Hospital due to the degree of injury he sustained. Both victims have been deposited at the morgue.”
However, the suspect, who fled into the bush after committing the heinous crime was later apprehended and when taken to his house, two kidnapped victims were found and set free before the mob beat him to stupor and set him ablaze.
