Detectives probing the mystery of the dismembered bodies are probing three angles, while also leaving nothing else to chance in a bid to establish the truth.
One of the hypotheses reviewed by detectives is that the killings may be associated with a cult with criminal activities or serial killers.
Detectives also explored the hypothesis that the killings could linked to rogue medical practitioners dealing in criminal activities.
“Are we dealing with a cult that is associated with criminal activities? Are we dealing with serial killers that are also associated with criminal activities? Or even, could we be dealing with rogue medical practitioners that are dealing with criminal activities? All these are hypothesis we have tried to bring on board.” Directorate of Criminal Investigations boss Mohammed Amin remarked.
