Family in Imo state kill and bury their son for being too stubborn

A man identified as Mr Lambert Ukachukwu, his wife and daughter have been arrested by men of the Imo state police command, after they allegedly connived and killed their last-child, Chukwuebuka.

The 28-year-old was allegedly murdered on Saturday, September 17, 2021, for being stubborn and giving his family sleepless nights.

According to reports, Chukwuebuka was hit with a plank of wood and was left to die, after which he was buried in a shallow grave close to his residence.

Luck, however, ran out on the family as they were confronted by the suspecting youths of Duruegwele community in Imo, about the whereabouts of the deceased.

The father had informed them that Chukwuebuka travelled to Ghana.

But after pressing further and threatening to burn down the culprit’s house, the daughter confessed to the crime.

It was learned that the couple and their daughter have been arrested, while the deceased immediate older brother called Philip is on the run.
