“When we got there at Domeabra near the Pentecost Church, two children, aged 3 and 4 years, were seen already removed from the water tank. On examination, we realized that the children were already dead. The names were given as Blessing Boateng and Lukman Yussif.  Police carried the bodies to Emana hospital for preservation and autopsy and further inquiries.”

“The parents of the deceased were not met at the scene, so they were asked to report today  for further instruction. As we speak, the detective has gone to the court to see the magistrate to sign the coroner’s form to allow the doctor to perform the postmortem and give us the report and the cause of death so that the police can go ahead with investigation,” he said.
