STRANGE: Man beheads father, eats flesh in Ebonyi The Police in Ebonyi State has arrested a 30 years old man, Nwode Chukwudi Awam, for allegedlly beheading his father, Michael Awam, 56, and eating the victim’s neck at Egwudinagu Obegu village in Ebonyi local government area of the State. Parading the suspect at the Command’s headquarters in Abakaliki, the command’s spokesman, ASP Chris Anyanwu disclosed that the motive behind the dastardly act was yet to be ascertained. The suspect, Mr Anyanwu said, would be arraigned in court later tomorrow. His words, “The Ebonyi state command has arrested Nwode Chukwudi, 30, who hails from Egwudinagu Obegu village in Ebonyi LGA for beheading his biological father, Michael Awam, 56, of same address. “The motive behind this dastardly act has not been ascertained yet as the suspect is still undergoing interrogation as to why he murdered his father in cool blood”. “However, the machete and the pistil were recovered from the scene and the headless and the severed head of the victim were deposited at the Federal Teaching Hospital, (FETHA) mortuary for autopsy”. “Nwode Chukwudi Awam would be arraigned for murder on 3rd April, 2014, that is this morning in a court of competent jurisdiction”. “When the police went for him, he was waving the machete with which he used to cut his father’s head and threatening to kill anybody that gets close to him; all the same he was overpowered and then arrested”. “But he was seen eating part of the severed head; he was seen eating up the entire stub of the neck. So when you look at the exhibit, the head doesn’t have the neck even though he did the beheading from the base of the shoulder, you won’t see the part of the body that is supposed to be the neck; he ate it up”. “We can say that it is not unconnected with ritual because it does appear that he may have been asked to do such a thing but as I said, he is still undergoing investigation and if the suspect yields we will discover the real reason behind the dastardly act. So far, he has not given a clear reason behind the act”. The suspect, Nwode Chukwudi Awam who was seen intermittently smiling and looking suspiciously calm stated that he carried out the act after he heard a voice which told him to go to his village and kill his father. The suspect’s Uncle, Mr. Joseph Nwite who was still in shock and was still at a loss why the man would carry out such act stated that the suspect had been away from home for over six years. “He just came back from Imo State and killed his father. He didn’t say that his father did anything wrong to him; he lived in Imo for more than five years and has not been coming home; nobody was around when he came back”. Source: Nigeriana
