25 year old man murders his mother and two sisters

Residents of Gusau metropolis in Zamfara
State were shocked recently after the swollen
corpse of one of their neighbours and two of
her daughters were found dumped inside a
nearby dam in the area. More shocking was
the suspicion that mother and daughters
were killed by their on blood, 25-year-old
Kamal Yusuf Aliyu. The suspect who is
presently in police net has reportedly given
reasons why he killed his mother and
younger sisters.
Narrating the circumstances that led to the
ugly incident, the Police Public Relations
Officer in Zamfara State, DSP Lawal
Abdullahi said that the command started by
investigating a case of criminal conspiracy,
armed robbery and culpable homicide initially
reported by a good Samaritan as a case of
sudden and unnatural death (SUD).
According to him, “The good Samaritan, on
May 29, 2013 had reported to the Police that
a female corpse was sighted floating in the
water Board Dam in Gusau metropolis,
Zamfara State. When the corpse was
removed to Federal Medical Center, Gusau for
postmortem examination, deep cuts and
injuries were discovered all over the body of
the corpse. A case of Culpable Homicide was
being established.
In the afternoon of May 30 2013, relations of
the deceased came to Gusau Central Police
Station and reported a case of missing
person. Their relation, Hajiya Hafsat, was not
seen for the past 48 hours, and that her
mobile phone was not going through. They
were taken to the Public Mortuary where they
identified the said corpse as their missing
sister.
A Police team led by the Divisional Police
Officer (DPO) went to the house of the
deceased but met it under lock and key. It
was forced open and on entry, blood stains
were seen all over the room. Her clothes,
money and valuables were ransacked by the
perpetrators.
The deceased’s car was not seen in the
house, but her son’s car was seen inside the
compound with blood stains. The car booth
was searched and pillow cases, bed sheets
soaked with blood were recovered. The
discovery reaffirmed Police’s suspicion on a
case of culpable homicide coupled with the
testimony of the deceased relations that her
son who is now the prime suspect has been
threatening to kill her if she fails to give him
money.
The relations also reported to the Police that,
two of the deceased little daughters aged
between 11 and 9 years, living together in the
same house, were equally not seen. The
Police now suspected that the assailants
may have killed the two girls and dumped
their bodies in the water where the mother’s
body was recovered. The Police then went to
the river side where the first corpse was
recovered. Fortunately, the two corpses were
recovered, one with cuts all over her body
while the other was slaughtered,”
Police also informed Crime Guard that the
prime suspect, Kamal Yusuf Aliyu (25), who
is the deceased biological son, has been out
of school because of his bad habit and
following Police investigation, the prime
suspect was arrested in Kaduna with his
mother’s (deceased) car.
Some valuables and cash belonging to the
deceased were also recovered. It was learnt
that Kamal has confessed to the Police and
has mentioned the names of his accomplices
as Armaya’u Yusuf, 24, and Caleb Humphrey,
25. Both are in police custody.
The Zamfara State Commissioner of Police,
Akilu Usman Gwary has assured members of
the public that no stone would be left
unturned to fish out the remaining culprits
that were at large soonest. “The suspect’s
action is unfortunate and highly barbaric and
definitely they will face the full wrath of the
law,” the CP said.
