Wife murders husband for keeping late nights

A boy, Kefas Luca, has accused his 40-year-old mother, Mary, of beating his father to death.

The incident occurred in the Gonin-Gora of Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State on Saturday

Trouble was said to have started after the deceased arrived home at midnight.There was an argument between him and the wife.

On several occasions, Mary had warned her husband against coming home late but the husband would not heed to her warning until that fateful day.

But at about 3am, the unthinkable happened. According to the deceased’s first son, Kefas, he heard his father screaming for help. Kefas said his mum shouted that it was armed robbers that were attacking them and told him not to enter the room.

Kefas explained that the more he tried to know what was happening, the louder his mother screamed ‘thieves! thieves!’.

Kefas said by the time he summoned up courage to force his way into his father’s room, he found him vomiting blood and could no longer talk.

He said at that point, his mother was still pretending that it was armed robbers who attacked them.

He said, 

“There was a heavy object by his side and he was bleeding profusely from his forehead. At daybreak, neighbours came around to help and the police outpost at Gonin Gora arrested my mother and took her to Sabon Tasha Police station.”

The Police Public Relations Officer at the Command, Abubakar Zubairu, who confirmed the arrest, said Mary had been detained by the command for further investigation.
