One Echeno Adakole at the weekend, at a settlement in Otukpo Local Government Area of Benue State beheaded his 50-year-old step-mother, Titi Enokela, allegedly for ritual purposes. It was gathered that the suspected allegedly trailed Enokela to the farm and cut off her head.
He thereafter wrapped it with the dead woman’s cloth and put it in a polyethylene bag. A family source revealed that the woman’s children went in search of their mother when it was getting dark only to find her headless body tucked away in a corner of the family farm.
The source added that the children raced back home wailing and crying for help, only to discover the severed head of the woman with her step-son, who was acting strange and making moves to flee from home.
Save for the quick intervention of the police, the suspect would have been stoned to death by angry mob. The state Police Public Relations Officer, Moses Yamu, who confirmed the ugly incident, said that the suspect was currently in custody of the state CID.
