Ebonyi woman sentenced to death for killing co-wife, seven children

The state government had, in suit No HAW/13C/2017, brought against Nwefuru, accused her of setting ablaze the house of her co-wife, Felicia Nwefuru, which led to her death and that of her seven children.The plaintiff further contended that the accused removed all her belongings and that of her children and took them to a safe place outside the house before committing the act.

In 2017, eight members of a family were burnt to death following a mysterious fire that engulfed their residential house around 3am at Ogboji community in the Ishielu Local Government Area of Ebonyi State. Two persons were said to have survived the inferno – the husband, Mr Sylvanus Nwefuru, and Miss Ukamaka Nwefuru, one of late Felicia’s daughters.Hit-and-run driver kills nursing student in Anambra

The term of her sentence is that she be hanged by neck until she is dead,” the judge ruled.All rights reserved.
