He added that they were stabbed several times in the chest and abdomen.

He wrote:

“Obi was ready to leave for the airport. His friend came to pick him up. Adanna left for work. She later called her brother to wish him a safe journey, but could not reach him.
“After several attempts, she then called the house boy. The house boy said he left Obi at home to go out for an errand. Adanna got worried and went back home.
“On reaching home, the gate was locked from outside with a new padlock. She called the house boy again, who told her where to find the new key.
