Residents of Ighwre-Ovie community in Ughelli North Local government area of Delta State were treated to a horror show as an enraged housewife murdered her husband and his side chick in a fit of madness.
According to reports the housewife who had previously got wind of her husband’s infidelity with a woman who lives a stone throw away from their home, but had always maintained her cool, till she snapped on January 12 and ended the life of her cheating husband and his girlfriend, a neighbour who tried to intervene also got her jaw smashed and she is recovering in the hospital.
The woman waited for her usually drunk husband to return home, and when he did, she unleashed several machete cuts on his head and then went to the side chick’s home and bludgeoned her to death with a hammer.
“The woman has been accusing her husband of having extra marital affairs with another unidentified woman that she killed same day,” a neighbourhood source told the Vanguard.
“Having become fed up with her husband’s infidelity, on that fateful day the husband came back home drunk and on entering the house, the wife welcomed him by dealing multiple matchet cuts to his skull from which he died instantly.
“Not satisfied, a female neighbour who tried to intervene by stopping her, got what she didn’t expect as her jaw was slit with matchet and currently receiving treatment in the hospital.
“Again, she went to her husband’s side chick house and on entering her house that is within the same area, she used a hammer to burst her skull.
“A woman who heard the noise from her neighbour’s house narrowly escaped being attacked in the process before raising an alarm that attracted people which led to the suspect’s arrest.”
According to the police in Delta investigations have begun in the case, while the killer wife remains in custody.
