“Mentally challenged” son of Permanent Secretary butchers younger brothers in Delta
A mentally challenged man identified as Aniemeka Nwani has allegedly murdered his two younger brothers, Kingsley and Nwayo, in Aniocha Local Government Area of Delta State.
A family source told NAN on Monday that Aniemeka killed his brothers, one of whom was an undergraduate, with a machete on Sunday night.
The source said the three brothers and their widowed mother had had a family meeting before the incident. He, however, said that the suspect had been a patient at a psychiatric home in Uselu in Edo.
He further said the widow, a Permanent Secretary in the Delta civil service, had returned from Canada where her daughter lives, two weeks ago, after a medical check-up.
A friend of the deceased, Okiwelu Chukwudi, said on Facebook that Aniemeka thought his brothers were trying to gang up against him.
He wrote on the photo of the deceased: ”Both of you were in the church yesterday for your mother’s Thanksgiving. Little did you know it was your last days on earth. Little did your mom knew she will see both of you no more.
“They were stabbed by their eldest brother after a heated argument between Nnamaka and Nwanyor.
“It was in the process that Kingsley was called. When he arrived, Nnamaka (Aniemeka) felt they came to gang up against him. He immediately took a cutlass and cut Kingsley on the hand and neck. Before using a dagger to stab Nwanyor on his stomach.”
The Police Public Relations Officer in Delta, DSP Andrew Aniamaka, confirmed the incident and described it as tragic.
