The police in Imo have arrested Mr Chimezie Osuigwe, a retired vice-principal, for the alleged murder of his 78-year-old mother. Mr. Osuigwe was arrested after the embalmed body of his mother who was declared missing was discovered in a cupboard at his house.
“The corpse of Mrs Lucy Osuigwe, who was declared missing in 2003 was found in a large cupboard inside a shrine in a private room in a circumstance depicting ritual practice. The embalmed body, which was kept in that condition for about 10 years is believed to have been placed in the wardrobe by her son, Dr Chimezie Osuigwe, a devotee of the Guru Maharaji Sect...
“Preliminary assessment of the scene of crime revealed that the woman must have been murdered by the son for ritual purposes,” this is according to Musa Katsina, Imo State Commissioner of Police.
The woman, Lucy Osuigwe, was declared missing since 2003 and her son even joined in the search for her not knowing that he kept her in a shrine inside his house. So sad!
GistPlus gathered that the son, Mr Chimezie Osuigwe, has been arrested for first degree murder while the corpse of his mother has been moved to the Police forensic lab.
