Gunmen murder couple, dump corpses inside car boot in Anambra

Some unidentified gunmen killed two people believed of being husband and wife and dumped their bodies in the trunk of their car, a Toyota Camry with the registration number EE-621-EU.

Passers-by noticed the two new blood-dripping corpses in a lonely location along the Tempo Junction, Umunya axis of the Enugu-Onitsha Expressway early Wednesday morning.

A video presently spreading on social media shows a dark-colored Toyota Corolla being encircled and inspected by pedestrians. The vehicle doors were wide open, and two new corpses were put into the boot.

The blood dripping from beneath the vehicle boot showed the deceased may have been freshly murdered.
