Upon the completion of the wash, the killer reportedly approached one of the workers at the car wash to look for the tanker driver to remove the tanker from where it was parked.

The fuel tanker with registration number TTD 456 XA and inscription NIPCO was also at the car wash center for washing and was parked opposite the centre awaiting its turn.

Daily Post reports that the tanker driver had taken a stroll within the vicinity when the suspect approached the man sitting inside the truck.

According to the reports, the man identified simply as Aro was reportedly pleading with the suspect when he pulled out a gun and shot him at close range.

Aro reportedly died on the spot.
