A 30-year-old Nwode Chukwudi Awam beheaded his 56 year old father, Michael Awam and ate his neck at Egwudinagu Obegu village in Ebonyi Local Government Area of the state. The Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Chris Anyanwu, said..
“He was arrested on April 1, 2014 and before he was arrested, he was running and waving his machete which he used to cut his father’s head and threatened to kill anybody that moved close to him.
He was over powered and arrested but was caught eating the part of the severed head, after he ate-up the entire neck of the severed head.So, when you look at the exhibit head, you would see that he doesn’t even have the neck even though he cut the head on the base of the head you cannot find the neck from the head because he had eaten it up. I think it is not unconnected with ritual killing because it does appear he may have been asked to do such a thing but like I said he is undergoing interrogation if he yields, then we will be able to know clearly and why he did the act.
The machete and pestle he used in committing the crime were recovered from the scene of the incident and the headless body and severed head were deposited at Federal Teaching Hospital, Abakaliki mortuary for autopsy.
I’m living at Owerri in Imo and I am a mason. A voice came to me, threatening me to go home and kill my father and I immediately rushed home and used machete to kill my father,''
His uncle said the suspect hadn’t seen his father in 6 years but just came and killed him...The suspect will be arraigned in court for prosecution.”
