Man allegedly murders cousin over missing laptop in Imo state
A man identified as Ifeanyi Ibeawuchi Charles, is reportedly on the run after allegedly killing his 22 -year-old cousin, Ifeanyi Ogu, over a missing laptop in Umudagu Mbieri, Imo State.
According to Uchechukwu Ogu, the elder brother of the deceased, Ibeawuchi had, on Sunday, accused Ifeanyi of knowing something about his missing laptop.
Uchechukwu told Punch that the victim denied the allegation, but the suspect took him away in company with three other young men who claimed to be policemen.
The elder brother said the next news he heard after three days, was that Ifeanyi had been murdered.
He added that after a search, he found his brother’s corpse at Umuguma General Hospital mortuary.
“On Tuesday I visited the police station. But I was told that my younger brother was never brought to the police station,” Uchechukwu said.
“When we found my younger brother’s corpse at Umuguma General Hospital morgue, we were told that Ibeawuchi brought his corpse”.
On Wednesday, youths of the community attempted to take laws into their own hands by setting ablaze the suspect’s family house.
