Addressing journalists at the police headquarters on Wednesday on behalf of the state Police Commissioner, Mr Ikechukwu Aduba, the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Mr Abdulmajid Ali, said the grandfather, who was among the 16 suspects arrested and paraded by the command in recent days, committed the act at Ashura Rahama village in Toro Local Government Area of the state, adding that after they committed the dastardly act, the corpse of the boy was dumped into a well from where the police recovered it.
