BRITISH police investigating the murder of four people in Newcastle revealed on Wednesday how they received a phone call from a man saying he had killed “his entire family”.
The bodies of a Nigerian woman, Olufunke Sobo, 36, the man’s estranged partner; her brother, Yemi and her two young children, 12-year-old Abigail Crampton and five-year-old Steven Crampton, were discovered on Wednesday morning at a £350,000 house in an affluent suburb of Newcastle upon Tyne.
The children’s father and their mother’s estranged partner is Neil Crampton, a 33-year-old taxi driver. A neighbour revealed that she had earlier heard the screams of one of the children, but thought that he was merely having a tantrum.
Detective Superintendent, Steve Wade, said: “About 8.50 a.m., we received a call from a male caller who said he was responsible for killing his entire family.” Detectives said that they were continuing to question a man, aged 33, Ms Sobo’s partner, who was arrested on Wednesday.
A scene of carnage was discovered inside the house when police, acting on the telephone call, broke into the property in Gosforth shortly after 9.30 a.m. Officers discovered the bodies of the two adults downstairs while the children, both wearing pyjamas, were discovered in their bedrooms.
Forensic teams worked at the house in Hawthorn Gardens on Wednesday, where the bodies still remained in place. The detective said that the house was owned by Ms Sobo’s mother, Tunde Sobo, who was born in Nigeria but is a British citizen and has lived in Britain for 50 years.
Initial reports said that the grandmother had been killed in the attack, but it was revealed Wednesday that the second adult was Ms Sobo’s brother. Ms Sobo also had another brother, Yinka. Mr Sobo was well known in Newcastle as a freelance photographer. His family said he was staying with his mother while his flat in Gosforth was being renovated.
“We are told that Abigail was lively with lots of friends, who liked music and computers, while Steven was a bit of a rascal, very loving and helpful, and mad on Thomas The Tank Engine. Their family are distraught, their friends, colleagues, and fellow pupils are devastated by this tragedy.”

Can u imagine what these people are saying? Truely Peaches ur suspicions are mine as well. The murderer is most likely the kids father, a white man and the press is holding back identity cos they are afraid of what the black community would do. Shame
