A 24-year old man, Abuchi Onuorah, has reportedly set his 64-year old father ablaze for allegedly killing his mother in Abube-Uno community, Nando, in Anambra East Local Government Area of Anambra state. Onuorah was said to have slaughtered the deceased before setting his body ablaze.
The Nation gathered that the deceased, Mr. Onyiauke Onuorah, was trailed to his room and murdered, before his body was dragged outside and burnt. A resident of the area who preferred anonymity, said the deceased was killed by his son for allegedly masterminding the death of his 51-year- old estranged wife, Okwundu Onuora. It was said that the suspect believed his father used diabolical powers to inflict disease on his mother for flouting his instructions not to visit their daughter, Nede, after delivery.
He said: “Onyiauke threatened his wife that if she went for their daughter’s ‘Omugwo’ at Nteje, she would not come back alive. “But the woman went against her husband’s directive. During the visit, she was struck by a mysterious stroke and died two days later.” According to him, before her death, the woman had revealed to her children how their father threatened to kill her spiritually if she dared to visit their sister that was delivered of a new baby.
