An Enugu East Magistrate’s Court, sitting at Udi, has remanded in prison a middle-aged man, Uchechukwu Ugwuozor, who allegedly stabbed his mother to death, as the case was adjourned sine die—indefinitely.

This followed his arraignment by the police.

He is facing a one-count charge which reads, “that you Uchechukwu Ugwuozor, male, on October 2, at Ubiekpo village, Abor in the Udi magisterial district, did unlaw-fully kill one Eunice Ugwuozor, female, and thereby committed an offence punishable under Section 274(1) of the Criminal Code Cap 30 Volume II Laws of Enugu State of Nigeria, 2004.”

No plea was taken, neither was the suspect granted bail as the matter was adjourned sine die.

Meanwhile, men of Enugu State Police Command, who arrested the suspect, has kept mute about whether or not the suspect was subjected to psychiatric test, in a bid to ascertain his true mental status before the arraignment.

Enugu State Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Mr. Ebere Amaraizu, had earlier hinted: “We are carrying out proper and detailed investiga-tions to unravel the true state of the suspect and the circumstances or the motive behind the dastardly act.”
