Two children found dead in their parents’ freezer

Residents of Owa Alero, Ika North-east Local Government Area of Delta State, were on Thursday thrown into a state of confusion when a couple identified as Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Oseni discovered the lifeless bodies of their two children, David Oseni, 6, and 4-year-old Shedrack, inside the deep-freezer, used for their ‘iced block’ business.

It was gathered that when the corpses of the children were found, they were already frozen and all effort to revive them was futile as they were confirmed dead from hypothermia.

According to residents of the area, the couple, before going out to conduct their business, had locked the children indoors, only to discover the incident upon their return.

The father of the deceased, Oseni, who discovered the lifeless bodies of the children said, “I took the generator for repairs and on my return I powered it to ascertain if it was working. After 25 minutes, I lifted the top to check if the freezer was working optimally, only to behold the lifeless bodies of David and Shedrack in the freezer. I raised the alarm, calling the public to the scene.

The children were immediately rushed to a private hospital where they were both confirmed dead by the doctor on duty.

The police at the Divisional Office, Owa Oyibu, were contacted and investigations are on to unravel the mystery behind the tragedy,” Oseni said.
