Their son who witnessed the murder tried to rescue his mother, Ukana – Nee Akarutu, but received multiple wounds in the process before he ran out screaming for help.

The horrific event took place in Igarra Community of Akoko–Edo Local Government Area of Edo State and remains of the body of late Mrs Ukana is said to be at a private mortuary in Igarra, while the accused Mr. Shakede is currently in the custody of the police.

The Vanguard reports:

His son was reported to have raised an alarm which attracted neighbours in the night when he was woken up by the shout of his mother as she was being butchered by his father.

It was gathered that the couple have been engulfed in a running battle over the man’s resolve to formally marry his age long mistress. It was learnt that the deceased had strongly objected to the plans which had always led to fight in the house.

It was also learnt that several attempts made by family members and friends in resolving the crisis hit a brick walk.

The The Edo State Police Public Relation Officer,  ASP Moses Eguavoen said the command will investigate the matter which he described as barbaric and unacceptable.
