A son, John over the weekend killed his father, Mr. Ikor Itumo in Ndufu, Ikwo local government area of Ebonyi Statefor being to old.
The Nation gathered that the suspect reportedly suffering from mental problems was said to have beheaded his father and took the lifeless head of his late father to Edukwu Unwu-essa playground in the area, as a mark of heroism for the entire Uduku Ettam Okpitumo community to see, according to eyewitness.
According to sources, after news of John’s dastardly act went round the community, a search party led by youths in the area was immediately conducted leading to the discovery of the cutlass the suspect used.
The Nation gathered that the suspect was later apprehended by the youths and handed over to the police for interrogation into the circumstances that led to the death of the deceased.
Meanwhile the suspect who apparently doesn’t see the crime in what he did said: “My father had become older than my late grandfather, therefore he deserved to be killed. He was no more useful to the society because of his old age.”
