CYRIACUS IZUEKWE

A housewife, identified as Mrs. Eddie, has revealed what transpired  between her and her husband before she decided to eliminate him with rat poison in their matrimonial home.

P.M.EXPRESS reports that the incident happened at Ndiakparata, Igbeagu, Ebonyi State, last Monday where they reside.

The woman reportedly told the Police that she went out, came back by 2am on that day, her husband was angry and beat her up for coming late.

Mrs. Eddie claimed that since she had gotten another lover, it was better to eliminate her husband and move on to marry her new lover in order to avoid disturbance in her new relationship. She then prepared food, poured the rat poison into it. Not knowing, her husband ate the food and died at night inside the room.

However, three days later the dastardly act leaked in the community and the angry youths apprehended her. She eventually confessed to the crime, was stripped naked and paraded around the community before she was handed over to the Police in the area.

Police sources said that trouble started when the woman came back around 2.00am and was beaten by her husband for coming back late and she decided to kill him.
The source said, “The villagers stripped the woman naked after it was discovered that she had killed her husband with rat poison just to get married to another man. It’s a dastardly act and that’s why the youths stripped her naked and paraded her around the village”.
“The man died after coming back from a burial and eating her wife’s food, which she had intentionally added rat poison in order to kill the man to pave way for her to get married to one of her numerous lovers. Her husband couldn’t wake up the next day after eating her food. The woman deliberately threw the remaining food away.”

It was also gathered that she had been flirting around with different men in the community despite the fact that her husband loved her. But she decided to terminate her husband’s life with the rat poison in order to be free to get married to her lover.

According to reports, her lover, who she had hoped to get married to after she had killed her husband, has absconded having discovered that the woman had killed her husband.
The suspect, Mrs. Eddie, will be charged before the Court for murder which attracts death sentence if she is tried and found guilty over the alleged offence.
