A 62 year old retired vice-principal has been arrested by
the Imo state police for allegedly killing his mother and hiding her corpse in
his house since 2003.
Dr. Chimezie Osuigwe was arrested after the embalmed body of
his mother was discovered hidden in a cupboard in his house yesterday Monday
April 14th by another family member.
Police say the body of the woman, Lucy Osuigwe, who was
declared missing in 2003, 'was found in a large cupboard inside a shrine in a
private room in a circumstance depicting ritual practice.'
The police believe the retired educationist and devotee of
the Guru Maharaji sect, killed his mother for ritual purposes. Dr. Chimezie
Osuigwe is being held for first degree murder.
