Team work: Mother and son torture housemaids with hot iron

These two put the phrase two heads are better than one into play when they joint-handedly decided to torture their maids.

A middle-aged woman, Mr. Agnes Uchendu, and her son, Ikechukwu Uchendu, are currently in police custody for allegedly inflicting injuries on their domestic helps- Hope Ajunwa, 11; and Ngozi Ajunwa, 9-with hot electric iron.

The Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Ezekiel Onyeke, said the suspects were picked up based on a petition by the International Federation of Women Lawyers, Abia State Chapter, led by one Florence Igwe.

He said, “Upon the receipt of the petition, operatives proceeded to the address and arrested both suspects and rescued the victims, who were covered with injuries which were inflicted on them by the suspects with a hot pressing iron. One of the victims, Ajunwa, also had injuries in the sole of her foot.

“Upon interrogation, Ikechukwu said he disciplined the minors with iron for stealing N100.”

He said the victims had been admitted to the Nigeria Police Clinic Umuahia, for medical attention and that the case was still under investigation, adding that the suspects would soon be arraigned in court.
