SADNESS struck at Umuchagu Osokwa in Osisioma Ngwa council area of
Abia State when a man, said to be in his early 20s, beheaded his mother,
collected her blood and fled the community. The victim, identified as
Cecilia Nwanjie, was said to have returned from the farm at about
6.30pm, last Thursday, to meet his son who visited home. After
exchanging greetings, Cecilia, according to a community source, went
into the kitchen to prepare dinner for the family.
We learnt that the victim had been leaving alone since the death of
her husband, Nwanjie Onyerionwu, and engaged in menial jobs to make
ends meet as her two sons live outside the village. The elderly son
reportedly visited home the previous day. Having been assured that no
one was at the compound, the junior son allegedly attacked his mother
with a machete and slashed her throat, collected her blood and fled the
area.
The source stated that neighbours were attracted to the scene by a
loud cry from the Nwanjie compound at about 7.30pm after which the
Cecilia’s lifeless body was discovered surrounded with blood soaked
items. A search party was said to have combed the surrounding bushes but
the assailant was nowhere to be found and was yet to be seen as of the
time of filing this report. When contacted, Abia State Police Pubic
Relations Officer, PPRO, DSP Geoffrey Ogbonna, said the incident was yet
to be reported.
