The new Commissioner of Police in Anambra State, Mr Livingstine Urutugu, on Monday visited the family of the three siblings who were killed and stuffed inside a refrigerator in Nnewi, saying the killers live in the vicinity.

Speaking during the visit, the CP vowed to unmask the perpetrators of the dastardly act in due time.

Urutugu, who left for Nnewi barely two hours after assuming office at the state Police headquarters in Awka, stressed that under his watch, crime and criminality would be checkmated to its lowest level.

According to him, the state police command would not compromise with the security architecture of the state. .

He said: "We are here today on a spot assessment of the unfortunate incident of the murder of three siblings and kept in the fridge here in Nnewi.

"I am also here to console the family/relatives of the victims and to reiterate the commitment of the Anambra State Police command over this unwholesome crime, unlike other incidents recorded in the state which bordered on kidnapping of individuals and sudden disappearance of persons.

We shall unravel the circumstances surrounding such and ensure that the suspects are arrested and justice served"

He commended officers and men of the command for their boldness in confronting the challenges and recording several successes lately in curbing crimes, assuring that they would be encouraged.

He added: "I have been briefed on how Anambra people and the state government, through the launch of Operation Udo ga achi, have risen to collectively join voices in condemning any act that threatens our national peace. I am happy that the people have resolved to work together and discuss the issues that tear us apart, not minding our differences.

To support this move, the command under my watch, shall take every professional step in crime prevention to enhance crime-fighting strategies through strategic deployment of our intelligence assets and robust synergy with sister security agencies, organized vigilante groups and other stakeholders.

I urge the good people of Anambra State to remain law-abiding, vigilant and to continue to partner and support the Police and other security agencies, towards combating all forms of criminality as well as ensuring public security and safety in the State.

For those who have been misled to take to crime, you are warned to retrace your steps as the command is poised to deal squarely with all acts of criminality without regard for status".
