The rape and killing of a mother of four, Mrs. Suzzana Iwuoha on her farm have sent shock waves across Umuchaku Lowa, a community in Ihitte Uboma LGA of Imo State.
Iwuoha was harvesting cassava on her farm last Wednesday when unknown assailants accosted, raped, killed and buried her in a shallow well close to the farm.
Narrating what happened, the victim’s second daughter, Miss Ugochi Iwuoha, said, “My mother and I earlier in the morning went to weed our groundnut farm at Mbaraocha; we came back home at about 2 pm, but my mother returned to the same farm to harvest some cassava for domestic use. But after 6 pm she was yet to return home. Then, my uncle and I mobilised a search party and went looking for her.”
The SS2 student of Nsu Comprehensive Secondary School, Umunanu, added, “We were shocked to discover her body in a shallow well near our farm; then we raised the alarm which attracted the attention of the Operation Search and Flush operatives who arrived at the crime scene moments later; they took the remains of my mother and deposited it at Ihitte Uboma General Hospital morgue.”
A younger brother of the deceased, Chinedu Iwuoha, disclosed that a suspect has been arrested in connection with the rape and killing of his sister.
He added that the suspect was now assisting the Anti-Homicide Unit of the Nigeria Police in their investigations into the incident.
