The statement further explained that Chukwuemerie, who resides at Ojinato community in the state, “met his death when his son identified as a.k.a. `The Boy’ smashed his father’s head with pestle over a yet to be established issue.’’
It noted that following the development, the victim was rushed by sympathizers to a nearby hospital where he was confirmed dead by a doctor, and the corpse was subsequently deposited at the Oji River General Hospital morgue.
“The suspect has been nabbed although information from a source closer to the place of the incident revealed that before the incident that the suspect had been behaving abnormally suggesting mental illness.’’ - Daily Post
