Man kills his 65-year-old father in Anambra, sets his corpse ablaze

A man identified as Abuchi Onuorah is currently on the run in Anambra State after killing his 65-year-old father, Onyiauke Onuorah, and setting the corpse ablaze.

Southern City News reports that the incident happened in Nando, in the Anambra East Local Government Area of the State

According to a report by a family source, Abuchi killed his father over suspicion that he was responsible for the death of his 51-year-old mother.“The deceased was killed by his son. He claimed that his father was responsible for the death of his 51-year-old mother, Okwundu Onuorah.
The deceased was alleged to have used diabolical powers to inflict disease on his wife for flouting his order not to attend the Omugwo (maternity treat) of their daughter, who was recently delivered of a baby. Onyiauke threatened his wife that if she went for their daughter’s Omugwo at Nteje, she would not come back alive. But the wife went against his order.

During the visit, she was struck by a strange ailment and she died two days later. Before her death, the woman revealed to her children how their father threatened to kill her through diabolical means if she dared to visit their sister that put to bed.

So, when she eventually died and the message got to her children, one of her sons, Abuchi, dashed to their father’s room, dismembered him with a cutlass and poured petrol  on his remains and set them on fire” the source revealed.
