A 29 years old Mathias Amunde Ugwe, is alleged to have decided to take the life of his biological mother, Mrs Justina Amunde, now late in the early hours of Christmas 25th December 2024.
TheLumineNews learnt that the victim, late Mrs Justina Amunde who hails from Ohong in Obudu Local Government Area, attended the Christmas vigil on the 24th December, 2024 and came back very late. She then locked all the doors in the house without any knowledge that her own son had connived with his friend and hid themselves in the store, waiting to commit the crime.
A source in the family who confided with our reporter disclosed that, “A few hours into the night, the house help who stays with late Mrs Justina Amunde, went to the kitchen to get drinking water, found out that the killer Mathias and his friend were hiding in the store.
“The house help then raised alarm and the victim came to the rescue of the girl. Unfortunately for her, her own son, Mathias, started hitting her with a heavy hammer, after dispossessing her of cash.
“When he noticed that his mother was no longer breathing, his friend assisted him to carry the corps and deposited inside the well beside our mum’s room.
“Having deposited her corps in the well, they ran out of the house with the house help to Boki Local Government Area and threatened her not to disclose the incident to anyone. But the house help escaped to Utanga, Obanliku Local Government Area to meet her parents on the 27th of December, 2024. The girl then narrated her ordeal to her parents, who later contacted us. We then found the corps in the well on the 28th December, 2024”.
