Police Public Relations Officer in Imo, Orlando Ikeokwu said, “We received intelligence from one Jude Mbionwu, a security coordinator at Umuobom, who revealed that one Sunday Agwim, 47, killed his mother, one Christiana Agwim, 62, hitting a hammer and a machete on her head and completely grounded the head into powder beyond recognition with the hammer.

“The scene was immediately visited and the suspect was arrested and exhibits recovered.
