He added that the suspect put their dead bodies in a big sack to dispose the bodies, but luck was against him, as other neighbours quickly alerted the Elemoro Police Division of the incident, adding: “Immediately, detectives of the Division rushed to the scene, arrested the suspect and recovered the bodies.”
