A 51-year-old Glady Napoleon has admitted to killing her
husband, Eze Napoleon at their residence in Igwuruta community, Ikwerre Local
Government Area of Rivers State.
She claimed that she killed her husband in self defense
after the deceased allegedly attempted to “kill” her with a matchet during an
argument but she overpowered him and used the weapon on him.
The suspect gave the explanation while being paraded at the
State Criminal Investigation Department, SCID, in Port-Harcourt, on Wednesday.
“He went and brought the knife (matchet) and started
dragging me and I was screaming.
“We started dragging the knife and I cut him on his head two
times.
“After he fell down, I became very scared and I called my
daughter and my brother in-law to come immediately and we rushed him to the
hospital but no doctor was around to attend to him. We went back home where he
later died,” she confessed.
According to her, her late husband had during the argument
threatened to kill her and her two children and “and use us for money rituals”.
The suspect, who claims to hail from Chokocho community in
Etche Local Government Area of the State, said she has been married for 35
years with six children and had always been maltreated by her late husband and
“I complained to his brothers and even my children”.
Parading the suspect at the SCID headquarters in Port
Harcourt, the State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Nnamdi Omoni said she
“will likely be charged to court after full investigations”.
Omoni, however, advised members of the public to “seek
alternative means of resolving family conflicts instead of violence”.
