  • Assailant on life support machine in hospital, beaten to coma by neighbourhood youths

It was indeed a tragedy on Tuesday at Uburu community, Ohaozara Local Government Area (LGA) of Ebonyi State, Southeast Nigeria, when a  man, Chibuike Ochie, hacked three persons to death with a Machete in a farmland. 

Those hacked to death include his elder brother’s wife, his younger sister and a hired labourer.

A family source said that Chibuike arrived his family  farmland where the victims were working and  attacked them with a sharp machete, killing them.

Ebonyi State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Loveth Odah, who confirmed the incident, said investigation was ongoing to ascertain  what exactly transpired.

Odah, however, cautioned youths in the area to be careful and refrain from taking laws into their hands.

According to Odah, “it was reported that on  October 24, when the family of Ochie were in the farm in company with a hired labourer that was working for them . One of their brothers, Chibuike Ochie, came  to the farm and suddenly started attacking them with a matchete.

“He succeeded in attacking  Ogechi Ochie, 32, his  elder brother’s wife ,his  younger sister, Margaret Ochie, 35 ,and the said labourer. The victims  were hacked  to death and  he escaped from the farm.

“While he was  fleeing the scene, irate youths of that area started chasing him and were able to seize him and mobbed him. He was beaten to coma but he was later taken to the hospital where he is presently  on a life support machine.

“That is why we keep discouraging the youth from taking laws into their hands especially when a person commits of this magnitude . We are praying that the suspect will survive to tell us the reason he committed the dastardly act.”
