A house maid has been hacked to death by the son of her madam in Onitsha for refusing him sex.
An unfortunate early death has met the family of a 20-year old house maid, Chioma Onyegili, who was hacked to death by a 31-year old son of her madam, Okechukwu for refusing to have sex with him in Onitsha, Anambra state.
The incident occurred at about 9:30pm on Wednesday at 56 Ziks Avenue Fegge, Onitsha, where the suspect now in police custody used a cutlas to kill the maid for refusing to accept his advances.
It was gathered that the deceased girl was living with the 70-year-old mother of the accused who always demanded that the girl sleep with him, which she always resisted. He thereafter slashed the girl on her neck with a machete.
Mr. Rabui Garba, a Superintendent of Police who is the Divisional Police Officer in charge of Fegge Police Station, confirmed the incident, and said that when the information reached his office he dispatched a team of detectives who swung into action and arrested the culprit.
He said that the suspect would be transferred to State Criminal Investigation Department (CID) for further investigation on the matter, while the deceased corpse has been deposited at an undisclosed hospital mortuary in Onitsha.
The suspect had confessed to the crime, saying that he had killed some other persons in the past in a similar manner. He claimed that he did not know what pushed him to kill the girl, hinting that he may have been hardened by his past murders.
