Obosi horror: Abroad returnee stabs four kids, sister in law to death, poisons self

By O’star Eze

A certain unidentified man has allegedly stabbed his four children and teenage sister-in-law to death in their house at Awada Layout in Obosi, Idemili North LGA, Anambra State, and then poisoned himself to death, Orient Daily reports.
According to eye witness, the man, said to be an abroad returnee and had hitherto been manifesting signs of mental instability had, for reason yet unknown, allegedly pounced on his four kids on Saturday evening, while the wife was not in the house, and stabbed his four kids to death. He then reportedly drank a poisonous substance and was having the last throes of death when neighbours got to the scene.
“ It was while he was on top of the maid that the maid gave out a nerve-chilling scream that drew the attention of the wife and neighbours to the scene,” said the eye witness.
Orient Daily reports that the four children aged between 4 and 12 and the sister-in-law, aged 18 were found lying lifeless in the house with blood splattered everywhere like in a horror movie scene. The accused said to be in his middle ages was also found lying there jerking with a lot of liquid substance splattered around him, seemingly proceeding from his mouth.
It was also reported that the man's house-help had been sent out of the house by the man who then locked the door to enable him privacy to carry out the dastardly act.
The police who were called by the neighbours have since taken the corpses and the accused away to the morgue and police station even as investigations are still on to ascertain what actually transpired.
