The police spokesman, SP Odiko Macdon, told our correspondent on Tuesday in Uyo that after killing his son, the man burnt the corpse and dumped the carcass in an abandoned pit toilet in his compound to conceal the act.

After his arrest and questioned on the incident, the father of the deceased said he committed the act due to his late son’s alleged bad character and incessant harassment and embarrassment.

The police also said operatives of Uruan Division, following intelligence report, arrested one Charley Edem John, over the theft of two 7-year-old children.

It was gathered that John used his 10-year-old junior brother to lure his victims, who are in the same school with his brother out of their classes so he could steal them.
