“…the suspects poured the substance…on his head, face and other parts of his body and fled on a motorbike.”
“When asked to lead Police to the house of the second suspect [Asabke Alangdi], he rather took them to the father’s house. Police later located the house of the second suspect but he got wind of the impending arrest and absconded with his wife leaving behind their baby,” the Police stated.
The Police further noted that they took a gallon which contained some of the substance for forensic examination adding that “Post mortem examination was conducted on the body of the deceased and the Pathologist gave the cause of the death as shock lungs and extensive acid burns.”
