The Delta State Police Command has arrested a man and his second wife in connection with the death of three sisters in Delta State.
The three sisters, who share the same parents, reportedly died while visiting their father’s home at the Delta Steel Company (DSC) Township in Oruhworun, Udu Local Government Area.
According to reports, the sisters lived separately from their father, who remarried after their mother’s passing, but occasionally visited him.
“The incident has sent shock-waves through the community, especially as it comes less than a year after the death of their biological mother.
“Their father remarried shortly after their mother passed on, with the stepmother reportedly being a close friend of the late woman (their mother),” a source said.
Waffi TV gathered that the sisters allegedly returned to their father’s DSC residence after attending a birthday party the previous day, only to be found foaming at the mouth the following morning.
Delta State Police Public Relations Officer, (PPRO), Edafe Bright, confirmed the incident, saying, “We are treating this as a suspicious death and are exploring all angles.
“The public will be updated as we make progress.”
