A retired soldier, yesterday murdered his
wife, Mrs Onyonishoyi Ukana-Nee Akarutu, in
Igarra Community of Akoko –Edo Local
Government Area of Edo State, following her
refusal to allow the him marry his long time
mistress.
Ukana, a retired Warrant Officer 2, was said
to have macheted his wife at about 1am
Friday morning dismembering her body.
Sources close to the family said their 18 year
old son also sustained several machete cuts
in an attempt to rescue his mother.
His son was reported to have raised an alarm
which attracted neighbours in the night
when his mother's moan in agony, as she
was being butchered by his father woke him
up.
It was gathered that the couple have been
engulfed in a running battle over the man's
resolve to formally marry his age long
mistress, with the deceased strongly objected
to the plans which had always led to fight in
the house.
Several attempts made by family members
and friends in resolving the crisis were said to
have always hit a brick walk.
Sources say the remains of late Mrs Ukana
have been deposited at a private mortuary in
Igarra, while the accused Mr Shakede Ukana
is currently in police custody.
Confirming the incident, the Edo State Police
Public Relation Officer, ASP Moses Eguavoen
said the command has started investigating
the matter which he described as barbaric
and unacceptable.
