Imo State Police Command has arrested two murder suspects for allegedly hiding a human head in a water tank.

The suspects, Onumajuru Godwin (61) and Agubosim Chukwuemeka (41), both of Eziama Obiato in Mbaitoli Local Government, allegedly conspired to kill a yet-to-be identified person. They later hid the severed head in a water tank belonging to Emmanuel Onuwa.

Ikeokwu said Onuwa, in a bid to prove his innocence, through his lawyer, petitioned Police Commissioner Isaac Akinmoyede, demanding that the case be re-investigated.

He said the police boss ordered a revisit of the matter.
