"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.
