www.odogwublog.com reports that tragedy struck at Okpunoegbu Umudim Nnewi weekend when a caretaker of a bungalow and two others connived and killed a tenant living in the same yard with the care-taker.
           The caretaker whose name was given as Jonathan Ossai, a native of Enugu Ezike in Enugu State, it was leant together with two of his friends, used a rod to beat their victim, Mr. Ogbonna Ogboke, to stupor. 
The victim was rushed to Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital, Nnewi but he lost the battle to live. He was confirmed dead at the hospital.
   The caretaker, a trader at Dalgo Estate, Nnewi, had a misunderstanding with the late Ogbonna on Saturday night prompting him to invite two of his friends who assisted him in beating their victim with rod, shovel and knife until blood started gushing out of his mouth and nostrils.
            The alleged killer, Ossai, 60, according to our source, was fond of threatening his co-tenants.
The deceased told his eldest son that he would make sure he went overseas for further education and the accused on hearing that told the victim that he could not send any of his children abroad as he was too poor to do so.        
            Angered by the comment, the victim’s first son told the accused that his own children would not be sent abroad either, as they were dullards and cannot cope with further education. The young man’s response alleegdly angered the accused who invited his friends to beat their victim to death.
            The alleged killer and his wife were still detained at the Central Police Station, CPS, Nnewi, while his two accomplices were still at large. The body of the deceased was deposited in an undisclosed Morgue.
