The discovery threw the indigenes and residents of the community, who are yet to come to terms with the reality of the situation, into panic as they endlessly searched for answers to the unusual death.
According to sources, the members of Umabuchi family in Eziama village, Uli, which hosts the Anambra State University, were discovered dead Saturday morning by neighbours.
The sources also added that the deceased could have eaten a poisoned meal the previous night, but the Anambra State police command said the incident was under investigation.
Among those who died after the poisoned supper, according to sources, included the mother of the family, with her three children, a maid and the mother of the woman who was on a visit to the family.
One of the dead children was said to be a teacher at a school in the village.
The father, Mr. Umuabuchi, was said to have traveled outside the town and so did not partake in the poisoned meal and became the only survivor of the family.
When contacted, the police spokesman in the state, Mr Emeka Chukwuemeka, confirmed the incident but said investigation was ongoing to unravel the circumstances surrounding the deaths.
