A 27-year old man who cruelly buried his kidnapped victim alive has voluntarily surrendered himself to the police in Delta State about eight months after he allegedly buried a kidnapped victim in his custody alive in his compound.
Emma while displaying a sense of remorse told the police that his victim hailed from Uzere in Isoko South Local Government Area of the state, but she’s yet to be fully identified.
It was gathered that gunmen suspected to be kidnappers abducted her on December 31, 2011 in Ughelli.
Emma, who hails from Owahawa in Ughelli South Local Government Area of the state, told the police that his soul was troubled that was why he had to surrender himself.
Public Relations Officer of the state police command said the suspect confessed burying the victim alive in his compound when she became weak, adding that his confession led to the arrest of one Kpoure, 31.
Muka said the grave where the victim was allegedly buried had been identified and that the corpse would be exhumed when her relations were identified.
He urged members of the public, whose relations were missing to report to the police area command in Warri.
While reiterating that efforts were in top gear to arrest other members of the gang, the police spokesman informed that the suspects would be arraigned in court soon.
