A man who was identified by the police as Sunday Eze (Jnr) has
reportedly matcheted his wife to death at the University town of Nsukka
in Enugu State.
Eze, alleged to be a native of Agbani Nguru in Nsukka Local
Government was said to have killed his wife following a slight
misunderstanding he had with her.
Vanguard sources said at Nsukka that the suspect allegedly killed
his wife lon Tuesday night in the presence of their only child
Onyebuchi Eze, 11. The suspect was alleged to have rebuffed pleas by
the child not to kill his mother.
The kid who received a deep cut in his hand in attempt to prevent
his father from killing his mother is a form five pupil of a primary
school in the area.
The suspect was however said to have had a mental problem before the
incident. It was alleged that the suspect had threatened to kill his
wife each time they had any disagreement.
Police sources quoted the 11 year old boy as stating that his
parents had quarrels that night before his father used his matchet and
killed his ‘’mummy,’’ adding, ‘’I rushed him and pleaded but he did not
listen to me. He stabbed my mother severally both on the head and legs
and on seeing that mummy is dead, he asked me to go to his elder
brother’s residence, and tell them what has happened while he also
moved to the nearby neighbours to inform them.’’
According to the police sources, Onyebuchi complied as directed by
his father only for the assailant to escape into the bush for three
days before he was caught by a search party in the community.
The search party headed by one Christopher Ejike Onah alias Papa
Nsukka, was said to have apprehended the suspect after ransacking all
the nearby bushes and villages.
He was said to have attempted to kill himself with a screw driver
which gave him a very deep cut in the throat.before he was arrested on
the third night, looking frail and haggard.
The suspect told Vanguard that his late wife was responsible for his
mental problem even as he further claimed that she died during a
scuffle with him on the fateful night.
“I was told by my diviner that my wife has a hand in my mental
problem which causes me internal heat at intervals,’’ the suspect
further told Vanguard.
