It was blood and tears, last weekend at Agbor, Ika South Local Government Area of Delta state, when a man simply identified as Sunny, has allegedly butchered a middle-aged woman (names with held).
The suspect who is currently being detained in police custody, was said to have laid ambush for the victim for about two days at the particular spot along Agbor-Sakponba Road, where he dragged her out of her ash colour Toyota saloon car and descended on her.
According to a source in the community, the victim was going to attend a burial ceremony on the fateful day before her assailant snuffed breath out of her.
“The murder was so callous. The suspect used cutlass to cut her ear, stomach, buttocks, back, laps and spread her legs on the road, exposing her private part. We have never seen a thing like this before,” the source said.
The source alleged that the victim’s shout attracted people to the scene but that their intervention was too late.
“When the mob gathered and saw the lifeless woman in the pool of her blood, they attacked the assailant who was still holding his blood stained cutlass. They even broke his head before the police came and took him away,” he said, adding that the intervention of policemen saved the assailant from being lynched by angry mob.
The reason for the attack is yet unknown.
The Public Relations Officer of the Delta State Police Command, DSP Celestina Kalu, said her office was yet to receive any report on the incident.
