A middle-aged man at Aku,
Igbo-Etiti Local Government Area of Enugu State, allegedly beat his wife to
death over a misunderstanding.
The deceased, identified as
Mrs Angela Oyibo, 36, was said to have engaged her husband, Charles Oyibo,
50, in a heated argument. He allegedly
pounced on her and gave her the beating of her life.
Vanguard learned that the
attack led to her being rushed to the hospital, where doctors battled
unsuccessfully to save her life.
It was learned that her
husband escaped to an unknown destination, having discovered that she did not
survive the attack.
An eyewitness said the
deceased was beaten into a state of unconsciousness, adding that efforts to
save her life proved futile.
The eyewitness said: “She was
unable to raise her hands and legs; she was totally weak.
“People suspected she may be
pregnant, but the doctors that attended to her before she died are in a better
position to state her condition before her death.
“None of the people that
rushed her to the hospital can tell what the problem with her husband that led
to that kind of beating was.”
Enugu State Police Public
Relations Officer, Ebere Amaraizu, who confirmed the incident, said
investigations had since commenced, adding that a manhunt for the fleeing
killer-husband was ongoing.
