Pandemonium
broke out on Thursday at Oleh, headquarters of Isoko South, Delta state when a
32 year old mentally deranged woman simply called Elo, allegedly murdered her
own parents in cold blood with a pestle. Elo, as our correspondent gathered,
ran outside naked as a result of her insanity and her father had to drag her
inside and lock her up.
Shortly after, she struck him with a pestle and killed him. She
also attacked her mother with the same pestle and killed her too. The deceased
father, a retired Army Warrant Officer and his wife whose names were given as
Mr. and Mrs. Jonah Elili, were 75 and 65 respectively.
They are survived by two boys and five girls, including the
insane Elo. Our correspondent gathered that the corpses of Elo’s parents were
discovered in the early hours of Thursday by a neighbour who came knocking on
their door to buy some items from their petty trading shop.
Eye witness accounts revealed that the would-be customer, a
woman was so eager to buy some stuffs from the deceased that she had to peep
inside the house after knocking severally without response.
She raised the alarm on sighting the corpses of both husband and
wife lying in pools of blood inside the house. In an effort to justify her
unholy act, the mentally deranged killer, who was arrested and taken to the
Oleh Police station stated that her parent hate her, locked her up in a room
where they first hit her and in retaliation she hit them one after the other
with a pestle, concluding that “I saw blood and that is all I know.”
Saturday Mirror investigations revealed that Elo has a twin
sister who is also said to have gone mad and roamed away from the community
without trace.
The Divisional Police Officer in Charge of Oleh Division, CSP
Lawrence Ogoegbulem, confirmed the story saying a signal has been sent to the
appropriate authority and the case will be transferred immediately.
