The woman was arrested by men of the Anti-Vice squad of the Bayelsa State Police Command. She was accused by her husband of collecting the sum of N27,000 to buy a bag of ‘foreign’ rice for the family ahead of the Christmas celebration but brought home a local rice at the cost of N10,000.

 

According to family sources, the husband and wife have been arguing over the matter which started on 23 December 2016 after the husband accused the wife of diverting N17,000. It was gathered that the wife allegedly killed her husband on Saturday 7 of January following a heated argument in their room.

 

Sources close to the family said that customarily, the husband was the one responsible for buying the rice and other food stuff needed for the celebration, but the wife insisted on buying the Rice and food stuff for the 2016 Christmas season.

 

It was gathered that the deceased husband, who was sleeping in the room before the arrival of the wife from unknown destination, was dragged unto the tiled floor from his sleep and clubbed with a wood while trying to come to term with the pain from the forceful fall from the bed. He reportedly died on the spot.

 

One of the son of the deceased, Okali Parker, said the killer woman, after realizing that her husband was dead, “she started parking her properties out of the house through the back entrance, while some of the deceased children and neighbors were outside having a quiet time.”

 

It was gathered that the deceased grandchild, Five years old, made the discovery while playing at the back entrance,” the five years old boy came to alert us that he saw the wife packing properties through the back entrance and dragging his grandpa on the floor with blood.”

 

“We went to confirm but met the room locked and pretended that we were not aware. When she came back for her fridge, we accosted her and ask her to open the door. But she refused. We forced the door open and met our father on the floor in his pool of blood. She later told us that it was in anger.”
