Although, details about the death of the Indyors are still sketchy at the time of filing this report, sources from the area said they might either have been strangulated by unknown persons or inhaled generator fumes.
It was also gathered that their little daughter of about two and a half years old was found alive at the scene of the incident.
When contacted, Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Catherine Anene who confirmed the report however said the cause of death was not yet known until an autopsy was carried out.
She said the remains of the deceased were found at different spots in the room while some fluid like substance was also seen oozing from the man’s nose.
