Man, 24, Hacks His Wife to Death in Bayelsa State… See Why

A 24-year-old man, Vincent Edwin has been nabbed by the Bayelsa State Police Command for allegedly killing his wife in Kolokuma/Opukuma Local Government Area of the state.

It was gathered that Edwin attacked his 21-year-old wife, Joy Michael from behind with a matchete on Sunday, November 5.

Spokesperson for the command, Asinim Butswat, who confirmed the murder, said the suspect has been arrested and had confessed to the crime.

”On November 5, 2017, at about 8.30pm, one Edwin Vincent, a native of Uwheru, in the Ughelli North LGA, Delta State, but residing at Boro Camp, Kaiama, in Bayelsa State, attacked and killed his wife, Joy, 21 years old,” said Butswat.

However, according to Bodmas Kemepadei, a community source who pleaded anonymity, explained that the incident was brought to the notice of the community by a 12-year-old girl, who saw the scene and alerted the indigenes.

”The couple traveled down from Delta state to begin life afresh. He noted that it seems life went rough for the couple, who had to abandon their hometown in search of survival in other places.

The source who also made photos of the victim and the deceased available, said the victim was interrogated after he was caught by the villagers.

Quoting from the source, he stated that the victim confessed that he was scared of his wife abandoning him to be with another man, since life had become rough.

His intent was therefore to kill his wife and commit suicide before he was apprehended.”
