Tragedy struck in Hospital Road, Aba, Abia
State, Monday, as a man identified as Uba Okoroafor stabbed his sister in-law
to death and committed suicide thereafter.
Vanguard gathered that
Okoroafor stabbed his sister-in-law, whose name was simply given as Oyidiya,
because she stopped him from going out because of the state of his health.
When he realised the gravity of his action, he
also stabbed himself in the chest and fell off from the building to the ground
where he died.
Police sources told Vanguard that
the DPO of Ndiegoro Police Division, Superintendent of Police Crescent Mamah,
where the incident took place, deployed his men who conveyed Oyidiya to a
nearby hospital, where she was confirmed dead by doctors.
When Vanguard visited the
area, family members were in a mourning mood, wailing over the fate that befell
them.
Spokesman of Abia State Police Command, DSP
Ezekiel Onyeke, confirmed the incident, saying investigations into the incident
had begun.
