A man, identified as Ogeoma Ogbonna, has beheaded his father, Azubuike Ogbonna, in Umuomei community,in Obingwa council area of Abia State.
It was gathered that after beheading his father, Ogeoma later buried the severed father’s head before neighbours were attracted to the incident.
The father’s body was seen in a pool of his blood as sympathizers thronged the compound and expressed shock over what could have led Ogeoma to kill his father
Sources told Vanguard that Ogeoma had been showing signs of mental imbalance and was always threatening to harm people.
“Ogeoma has been showing signs of mental illness. He was always threatening to harm people. But nobody in this community knew that he will get to the extent of cutting off his father’s head.
“We are still in shock on how he could kill his father. Before neighbours were called in to see what happened, he had already buried the head in a shallow grave in the compound. He took people and showed them the grave,” a native of the community, said.
As at the time of filing this report, Police Public Relations Officer, Abia State Command, Maureen Chinaka, was yet to react to the development.
