The assailant then dumped his remains around a plantain farm beside a private school at the Ogunu head bridge.

After killing the tricycle rider, the killer with his blood-soaked shirt took his keke in a bid to escape but the tricycle fell into a ditch, a member of the Ugbuwangue task force, who spoke in confidence, disclosed.

A clutch of Hausa traders, who saw the keke fell into the ditch ran to assist the rider who, by then have alighted from the tricycle but were shocked to see him drenched in blood. On further inquiry, they discovered that the tricycle belongs to someone they knew in the area.

According to sources, when they inquired about the real owner of the keke from him, he became inaudible and confused without any genuine and convincing answer.

The Hausa traders then called the Ugbuwangue community task force Chairman and his team and they took the suspect to the community security post for proper questioning.

Not satisfied with his response to questions posed to him, he was taken to a near by military post on the NPA expressway, where he declined to divulge the whereabouts of the owner the keke owner.

At this point, other tricycle riders ransacked the vicinity and discovered the mutilated body of the 15-year-old ‘Smally’, whose head was axed and opened up from behind.

The corpse was brought to the military post on the MPA expressway at Ugbuwangue.

The sight of the corpse infuriated the crowd which took the killer from the soldiers’ custody and set him ablaze before the Police Area Commander, Chairman of Warri South LGA and officers from the 3 Battalion Army Barracks arrived at the scene
