The remains of the man who hacked a woman to death in Anambra state
Residents of Mgbakwu community in Awka North Local Government Area of Anambra state, have served jungle justice on one Mmadubueze Orakwulu, who in the early hours of Friday, hacked a woman to death with a machete.
Mrs Nwode said: “We deployed our men quickly to the place and when they got there, the angry mob had already set the suspect ablaze but we recovered the corpse of the deceased woman and we have evacuated the body to Isuaniocha Hospital. What has happened is very unfortunate but we have deposited the corpse for autopsy and at the same time, we will go into a discreet investigation and we will charge anyone found liable to such act to court.
“The suspect who was set ablaze is about 38 years old and from what we gathered, they said he is a deportee from Morocco on grounds of drugs. So, whatever that must have led to the incident, I think it is premature to say but in the course of investigation, we will still brief the public on the outcome.”
Information gathered from the villagers revealed that Orakwulu allegedly used a machete to hack Mrs. Theresa Obalum, (who was about 40 years of age) to death, while on her early morning routine of selling pap to customers. The woman's husband Mr Reginald Obalum, who is blind and incapacitated by sickness, expressed his grief over the loss. “I’m blind and it is my wife that caters to us, a family of nine people. She is the one that feeds us,” he said.
