A yet-to-be identified housewife, a native of Isoko in Delta State, has been arrested for killing her husband and sidechick in Ighwre-Ovie area of Delta State.
The aggrieved wife who is currently being detained at the Ughelli Area Command, machetes her husband in the head multiple times before going berserk and killing the husband sidechick and injured another.
A community member told newsmen that the mother of two, killed her husband because of his extra marital affair with another woman.
“The woman has been accusing her husband of having extra marital affair with another unidentified woman that she killed same day.
Fed up with her husband’s infidelity, on that faithful day, the husband came back home drunk and on entering the house, the wife welcomed him by dealing multiple machete cuts to his head from which he died instantly.
Not satisfied with her quest for more blood, a female neighbor who tried to intervene by stopping her, got what she didn’t expect as her jaw was slit with machete and currently receiving treatment in the hospital.
Again, she went to hee husband’s sidechick’s house and on entering her house that’s within the same area, she used a hammer to burst her head.
A woman who heard the noise from her neighbour’s house narrowly escaped being attack in the process and it was her alarm that attracted people that led to the suspect’s arrest”
The Delta State Police Public Relations Officer Edafe Bright is yet to comment on this development.
The double killing has thrown the community into mourning, reigniting conversations around domestic violence, jealousy, and the devastating consequences of unresolved martial conflicts.
