ASABA– POLICE Detectives attached to Warri Division in Delta State Command have arrested a 33 year old man for allegedly beheading his one year and eight months old boy, used his blood to smear his forhead and threw the body away on the ground that he was told to do so in his dream if he wants to become rich.
The suspect identified as Volt Blesding Gabriel was reported to have taken the child into the bush where he carried out the bizarre act but lied to his wife that their child was with his aunt in Warti. Worried by the sudden journey without any plan, the wife who was at this time angry that she was not consulted before her child was taken to Warri, reportedly travelled down to Warri to pick her son only to be told that the child was not with the aunt as earlier told by her husband.
Sources said the wife started suspecting the husband and promptly laid complaints at the ‘A’ Division Warri following which the husband was arrested for interrogation.
