A father simply identified as Mr. Aghanti, and his daughter, also simply identified as Mrs. Atagoshi, have been killed and beheaded in Amai community, Ukwuani Local Government Area of Delta State over a land dispute.
The beheading of the 70-year-old man and his 50-year-old daughter over the land dispute has been confirmed by the police in the state.
The suspect in the case, who has since taken to his heels, was said to have lured Aghanti and Atagoshi to the bush, where he killed them and cut off their heads.
The spokesman of the Delta State Police Command and a Deputy Superintendent of Police, DSP Bright Edafe, confirmed the incident.
The Police Public Relations Officer confirmed that the suspect, on whose trail the police are, invited the victims to the bush with a tale of reaching an agreement over the disputed land.
Edafe said: “The suspect called the woman, saying he wanted to discuss the land issue.
“He then took her and her father into the bush, killed them, and beheaded them.
“On the same day, vigilantes apprehended one Emeke with two human heads.
“He was mobbed and set ablaze by angry residents.
“Upon inspection, it was discovered that the human heads belonged to the father and daughter.
“Their headless bodies were found in the bush.”
