Domestic Violence: Father Mistakenly Kills his Baby While Beating His Wife in Owerri

A violent man has accidentally killed his 3-month-old baby in Owerri after giving her a punch meant for her wife in the course of a fight between him and his wife.

Starttells reports that the sad incident happened at Umuchima Village in Owerri West Local Government Area on Thursday Morning when a barber identified as Chinedu, accidentally killed his baby after a fight erupted between him and his wife.

During the domestic quarrel, Chinedu’s wife allegedly picked up their 3-month-old baby, thinking that it would subside his anger and make him desist from hitting her.

However, while she was trying to dodge a punch from her violent husband, the baby got hit by the punch and died instantly, which prompted the indigenes, to alert the Vigilante Group, who quickly swung into action and arrested the man.
