"This man, Ita Daniel Okpo, in a most wicked act,
slaughtered his wife with a machete and we arrested him. When asked, he
admitted to killing his wife but said the late wife, Alice, always
quarreled with him and that she was the first to carry machete.
Gentlemen, but our findings revealed that the woman was sleeping when
she was hacked to death",When asked, the man admitted to killing his
wife but said he took the action after finding out his late wife was
sleeping with other men.
"I regret my act, but I was forced to kill her because it was too much on me. In fact, at a point, she openly told me she would rather kill me than to stop sleeping with these men. To match words with action, she had been fighting me several times. So, on that fateful day, while we fought, I killed her" he said The ACP said the man will charged to court.
