Man beheads random woman after his wife was raped by several villagers

32-year-old Chinedu Nweke has been arrested for the murder of 45-year-old Philomina Nwega.

Chinedu Nweke reportedly beheaded Nwega over allegations of several sexual assault on his wife by villagers of  Ebuku Ndieze Amudda in Umuzeoka village, Ezza North Local Government Area, Ebonyi State, where she (Nwega) hails from.

According to Commissioner of Police for the State, Maigari Dikko via Sun news, the odious offense occurred on the 6th of September, 2014.
Nweke, was later arrested with a blood-stained machete and clothes on September 7, 2014.

Chinedu explained how grief over his wife who allegedly lost her pregnancy after being severally raped made him seek revenge by murder.
He said:
“I am a farmer. Villagers raped my wife severally. And it made my wife to have miscarriage anytime she was pregnant. I never complained about this problem to the police. It was on September 6, 2014 in the evening that I saw a woman coming from the farm. I waylaid her and I used my cutlass to kill her. I cut off her head which
I dumped alongside her lifeless body into the Ogbor stream. I cut her head into pieces and threw them into the stream.

“It was at Umezeoka that the people raped my wife and that was where I killed the woman. Each time my wife was raped I bought drugs for her but I didn’t report
the incident to anybody, not even to the village head or the traditional ruler.”

Commissioner Dikko said that the headless body was recovered following Chinedu’s arrest and taken to Ebonyi State University Teaching Hospital, Abakaliki.
Sadly, the head of the body might not be seen as Chinedu confessed to have thrown it into Ogbor stream.

Mr. Bartholomew Nwega, the husband to the deceased, in an utterly bitter state pleaded with the police to continue the search for the head of his wife.
He said:
“I am pleading with the police to help me recover the head of my dead wife.”
