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.
