EKO HOT BLOG reports that two men, Keneth Sylvanus and Chijioke Ogbonna, have been remanded in custody for reportedly beheading Destiny Peter, a nine-year-old kid, in Agbandele village, Emuoha Local Government Area, Rivers State.
The defendants are on trial in a Port Harcourt magistrate’s court on three counts of conspiracy and murder.
When the case was called, Sylvanus informed the court that the police had given bail to a third suspect in the case, Chibuzor Amadi, prior to their arraignment.
Chief Magistrate I.F. Iyabo remanded the two defendants and instructed the prosecutor to coordinate with the attorney general’s office in order to produce the third accused person on the next adjourned date of Monday, December 6, 2021.
Recall that the three suspects, Sylvanus, Ogbonna and Amadi, were paraded on November 19 by the Rivers State Police Command for allegedly beheading the nine-year-old boy in Agbandele.
A spokesman for the state police command, Nnamdi Omoni, in a statement on November 19, 2021, said operatives recovered the dismembered body of the victim, adding that the arrest of the three suspects was through intelligence gathering.
