A yet-to-be-identified housewife, native of Isoko in Delta State, has killed her husband, side chick, and grievously injured one other person in Ighwre-Ovie area of Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State.
A report by Vanguard said that the woman who was being held at the Ughelli Area Command, matcheted her husband’s skull multiple times before going berserk and killing the husband’s side chick and injured another.
According to a source, the woman, mother of two, killed her husband because of his extra marital affairs with another woman.
The source said, “The woman has been accusing her husband of having extra marital affairs with another unidentified woman who she killed the same day.
“Having become fed up with her husband’s infidelity, on that fateful day the husband came back home drunk and on entering the house, the wife welcomed him by dealing multiple matchete cuts to his skull from which he died instantly.
“Not satisfied, a female neighbour who tried to intervene by stopping her, got what she didn’t expect as her jaw was slit with matchete and receiving treatment in the hospital.
“Again, she went to her husband’s side chick house and on entering her house that is within the same area, she used a hammer to burst her skull.
“A woman who heard the noise from her neighbour’s house narrowly escaped being attacked in the process before raising the alarm that attracted people which led to the suspect’s arrest,” the source added.
Though the Delta State Police Public Relations Officer SP Edafe Bright could not be reached, but a senior security source from the Delta State Police Command who confirmed the incident disclosed that the suspect was in custody and investigation was ongoing.
