The police in Imo have arrested one Chimezie Osuigweh, a retired
vice-principal, for the alleged murder of his 78-year-old mother in
2003. The 64-year-old man was arrested after the embalmed body of the
septuagenarian was discovered in a cupboard at his house by a family
member.
Alhaji Mohammed Katsina, Imo Commissioner of Police, said the woman,
Mrs Lucy Osuigweh, was declared missing since 2003. Katsina told newsmen
at the house in Ejemekuru in Oguta Local Government Area on Monday that
the embalmed body had been kept in that condition since 2003.
