The Police in Abia state have arrested a middle aged man identified as Christopher Nwajei, in Umuchagu Osokwa, Osisisoma Ngwa Local Government Area of the state, for beheading his mother  on March 29th.

He fled the scene of the incident but was later apprehended by the villagers inside a bush. When asked why he killed his mother, Nwajei said he was annoyed with her because she told him that he is not a native of the Umuchagu Osokwa village. He denied collecting her blood for rituals.
