Abia Police Command late Tuesday confirmed the killing of a 57-year-old, Mmaduka Ogbonna by his son, Chinalu Ogbonna, 27 years old at Amuzukwu in Umuahia North LGA.
The Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Maureen Chinaka disclosed this in a statement she issued late Tuesday.
Chinaka in the statement said, โYes we got a report today at about 0800hrs at CPS Umuahia.
โIt was a report of a murder case involving Mmaduka Ogbonna, a 57-year-old male, allegedly killed by his son, Chinalu Ogbonna, 27 years old at Amuzukwu in Umuahia North LGA.
โDetectives from CPS Umuahia visited the crime scene and found the deceasedโs lifeless body with his left eye gouged out.
โThe suspect, Chinalu Ogbonna, a 27-year-old male residing with his father at Umu Eze Road opposite Junior Girls Secondary School Amuzukwu Ibeku, has been apprehended.
โInvestigations revealed that he strangled his father to death and intended to use his left eye for money rituals.
โThe corpse has been deposited at The morgue for autopsy, and exhibits have been recovered.
โThe case is currently under investigation and will be charged to court.โ
A community source who spoke on condition of anonymity said Chinalu Ogbonna is known to be involved in taking drugs, regretting, however, โhe was his fatherโs favourite and the father protected him so much.โ
