The
town of Umueze, Enugwu-Achi, Oji-River Local Government Area, Enugu State, was
last Monday thrown into mourning, following the death of three-year-old
Akachukwu in the hands of his 14-year-old brother Ebubechukwu, who used their
father’s gun to shoot him dead.
The
brothers were said to be re-enacting movie scenes, not knowing that the gun was
loaded.
According
to a source, their father, Christian Odika, had left for their village square
at Obodo-Ukwu Enugwu-Akwu, for a meeting, when the tragic news reached him. It
was gathered that on getting to his house, he met his son,
Akachukwu, in a pool of his own blood.
Police
Public Relations Officer, Mr. Ebere Amaraizu, said: “Investigations into the
tragic incident have commenced to ascertain the remote causes, so the law can
take its course.”
