Operatives of the Eonyi State Police Command have arrested a 33-year-old man, Martin Odanwu, for allegedly killing his eleven year old stepson, Destiny.
“The woman said the man is her husband and not the father of the boy. The woman confirmed that she is a mother of seven, that the man is her husband. She said that when she got married to the man, she had three children before that boy, that along the line, she had issues which kept them away and she mistakenly took in for another man but that she has resolved the issue and the boy has been accepted back by her husband.
“I asked her why the man beat the child to death and she said that the husband was sick and she had some illness in her and she wanted her own family to help her and treat the illness. “So, all of them including her children went to her parent’s house and spent about four months before the man went back to their own house.
“The man went to the market to buy things and on his way coming, he saw his children and started quarreling them why they were outside by that time and caught the other boy and beat him to death. “Ohaukwu Division has arrested the suspect and handover to the police. As I am talking to you, Martin Odanwu is in the cell. The Commissioner of police has ordered full scale investigation into the matter to unravel the circumstances behind the killing.”
