Devil Incarnate
70-yr-old man butchers
60-yr-old wife for sleeping with other men
A 70-year-old man has murdered his 60-year-old wife because she
would not stop sleeping with other men.
Pa Ita Daniel Okpo, a church and community elder in
Mbiokporo village, Nsit Ibom Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State, is now
regretting the devil that pushed him into butchering his 60-year-old wife, Alice, with a machete, during a quarrel
over her sleeping around with other men.
Okpo who is now now in the cells of the dreaded Force
Headquarters in Ikot Akpan Abia, Uyo, the state capital, was said to have
attacked his wife while she was sleeping, killing her in the process.
The Assistant Commissioner of Police in charge of State
Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Mike Okoli, while parading the killer
septuagenarian, said:
"This man, Ita Daniel
Okpo, in a most wicked act, slaughtered his wife with a machete and we arrested
him.
When asked, he admitted to
killing his wife but said the late wife, Alice, always quarreled with him and
that she was the first to carry machete.
Gentlemen, but our findings
revealed that the woman was sleeping when she was hacked to death."
On why he murdered his wife, Okpo said he was pushed into
it because his wife was sleeping with other men.
"I regret my action, but
I was forced to kill her because it was too much on me. In fact, at a point,
she openly told me she would rather kill me than to stop sleeping with these
men.
To match words with action,
she had been fighting me several times. So, on that fateful day, while we
fought, I killed her."
