The Enugu State Police Command has commenced a manhunt for Mr Onyenwe Offor Ajah, who allegedly hacked his son to death over a disagreement between them.
The police spokesman in the state, SP Ebere Amaraizu, said in a statement on Wednesday that the incident occurred on March 28 at Ameke Enu village in Oduma community in Aninri Local Government Area of the state.
Amaraizu said the 38-year-old son identified as Kenneth had a disagreement with his father over a yet to be ascertained issue that started at Orie Oduma Market.
He said,
“It was further gathered that following the alleged misunderstanding, there arose a fight between the father and his son, which resulted to the use of an object to hit the victim on his head by the father.
“The son, however, became unconscious and was rushed to a nearby hospital and was later confirmed dead by a doctor on duty.’’
Amaraizu said that the corpse had been deposited at Awgu District General Hospital Mortuary while a manhunt for the fleeing suspect had been intensified.
