What a sad weekend it was at
Ndubia Inyimaegu community in
Izzi Local Government Area of
Ebonyi State, following the death
of a lady identified as Jacinta,
who was allegedly beaten to death by her husband, James
Uguru, over adultery allegations. Police Public Relations Officer of
the state command, ASP George
Okafor, revealed that the suspect
had angrily beaten his wife to
stupor when the deceased
stopped him from chasing after her alleged lover boy. Lagos-based Uguru was said to
have become suspicious of the
wife’s alleged promiscuity
following rumours in the
community that she was
cheating. Trouble started when the couple
was discussing in the sitting
room and a phone started ringing
in their bedroom. As the husband made to go for
the phone, his wife held his waist,
preventing him from moving. While he was prevented from
entering the bedroom - the wife’s
alleged lover ran out from their
bedroom. His wife’s insistence that he
should not chase after the man
made him vent his anger on her. A source said: “He started
punching the woman, who
eventually collapsed and was
rushed to the hospital where she
was confirmed dead.” The suspect who lives in Lagos,
had been suspecting his wife of
having an extra-marital affair but
didn't have proof until the ugly
incident played out. Uguru has been arrested while
efforts are ongoing to arrest the
runaway lover boy.
