Woman butchers mother in Akwa Ibom
By Emmanuel Awosika
Panic descended on residents of Umoh Obot Street, off Nto Akpan Inyang in Ikot-Ikpene Local Government Area, Akwa Ibom, after a one Mary Iweme murdered her mother, Eka Ime, in gruesome fashion on Friday.
According to reports, the suspect killed and then butchered her mother before the police arrested her.
It was gathered that youths, incensed by Mary’s gruesome act, paraded her around the community with the body parts in a basin.
The suspect reportedly expressed nonchalance at the thought of being arrested, saying “I don’t care if I am arrested and detained by the police,” according to a PUNCH report.
Confirming the reports, Akwa Ibom Police spokesperson, Odiko Macdon, said it was shocking that a daughter could do such to her biological mother.
He added that the suspect would be evaluated for a mental illness prior to investigation and prosecution.
His words: “The story is true; she (Ime) butchered her mum. We are suspecting that she is not of a sound mind, but we do not have any medical capacity yet to say so.
“Medical personnel will have to determine if she is of a sound mind or not, because no right-thinking person will kill her mother by butchering her.
“As we speak, we have her in our custody. We have gathered the parts of her mother and deposited them in the mortuary. By the time we ascertain her state of mind, we will charge her accordingly. The test will determine the extent of her culpability in the crime.”
