Delta State Police Arrest Father And Stepmother Over Suspicious Deaths Of Three Sisters

In a tragic turn of events, the Delta State Police have arrested a father and his second wife following the mysterious deaths of three sisters in the state.

The young sisters, who lived separately from their father after their mother’s passing, were visiting their father’s residence in the Delta Steel Company (DSC) Township, Oruhworun, Udu Local Government Area. According to reports, the sisters had returned from a birthday celebration the night before and were found foaming at the mouth the following day.

The incident has shaken the community, especially as it comes less than a year after the girls’ biological mother died. Their father remarried shortly after their mother’s death, with the stepmother being a close friend of the late woman.

“The family dynamics have left many in shock,” a source shared. “The sisters occasionally visited their father after he remarried, but this sudden death has raised numerous questions.”

Delta State Police Public Relations Officer, Edafe Bright, confirmed the case, describing the deaths as suspicious. “We are thoroughly investigating and exploring all possible angles. Updates will follow as the case progresses,” Bright said.

In an unrelated but equally unsettling development, two Tiv youths from Benue State have been arrested for allegedly murdering an engineer in Delta State. The engineer was contracted to construct offices in Akwukwu-Igbo, the headquarters of Oshimili North Local Government Area.

The incident, which took place in December 2024, came to light only recently after the arrest of the suspects. Sources revealed that the Tiv boys concealed the engineer’s body in a shallow grave on a farm.

Edafe Bright also confirmed the discovery of the body, stating, “Our team is working diligently to ensure that all individuals involved in this heinous act are brought to justice.”
