SOME yet-to-be-identified gunmen have killed a suspected couple and dumped their bodies in boot of their car, a Toyota Corolla with Registration Number: EE-621-EU.
The two fresh bodies soaked in blood were sighted by passers-by at a lonely place along the Tempo Junction, Umunya axis of the Enugu-Onitsha Expressway in the early hours of Wednesday.
A video currently trending on social media showed the dark-coloured car being surrounded and inspected by passersby.
The vehicle doors were wide open with the two fresh corpses inside the boot.
The blood dripping from beneath the vehicle boot showed the deceased, whose identity is yet unknown, might have been freshly murdered.

Ikenga added that the police personnel attached to the Oyi Division have recovered and deposited the two bodies in a mortuary.
He added that investigations have commenced to unravel the circumstances surrounding their deaths.
