A man identified as Amadi Alozie has been apprehended by youths in Umudosi, a community in Obingwa LGA of Abia State, for allegedly killing his mother with cutlass.

He is also being held for allegedly cutting the genital of his son for suspected ritual purposes.

According to DAILY POST, it was learnt that the Umudosi indigene pounced on his little son and cut his genital, which made the boy to scream and attracted Mrs Alozie, the mother of the suspect, who rushed in to know why her grandson was crying out.

But on noticing that his mother had found out his evil act, the suspect was alleged to have immediately drawn a cutlass which he used to inflict deep cuts on his mother, which resulted in her death.

The son who was attacked by his father has been rushed to the hospital.

After attacking his mother, Amadi Alozie tried to escape but was apprehended by youths of the community, who handed him over to the police for investigation and prosecution.

The ugly development has thrown the community into confusion about what pushed the young man into such crimes.

When contacted, the Public Relations Officer of Abia State Police Command, ASP Maureen Chinaka, said: ” We have such reports at Eastern Ngwa Divisional Headquarters. However, the victim has been rushed to the hospital, the suspect is in custody, investigation is ongoing.”
