There was a pandamonium at Umoh Obot, off Nto Akpan Inyang street in Ikot Ekpene Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom state, following the gruesome murder of one Eka Ime, by her daughter, Mary Imewe on Friday, November 27,2020.
It was gathered that she murdered her mother and butchered her body into different parts.
A community source told our correspondent in Uyo, that angry youths led by elders had compelled her to park her mother’s parts into a basin and walked round the community in total condemnation of the incident.
According to the source which pleaded anonymity, when the police came to arrest her, she exclaimed that she does not care.
“She said to it herself that she does not care if she is arrested or not” Mary was quoted to have said before being bundled into a waiting Van.
Meanwhile, the command’s Public Relations Officer, Odiko Macdon, who confirmed the incident while speaking to our correspondent in Uyo, expressed shock over the act.
He said no right thinking person would slaughter her own mother in such a gruesome manner, adding the police would conduct a test to certify her state of mind before she is charged to court.
“The story is story;she butchered her mum. We are suspecting that she is not of sound mind but we do not have any medical capacity yet to say so.
“Medical personnel will have to determine if she is of sound mind, because no right thinking person will kill her no mother by butchering her.
“As we speak, we have her in our custody.We have gathered the parts of her mother and deposited in the mortuary. By the time we ascertain her state of mind we will charge her accordingly, we have conducted preliminary investigation and more discreet investigation is on the way and she will be charged to court immediately after that.”
