One Mr Francis Uzo stabbed his wife to death and killed himself later for unknown reasons. 

Having heard of the disturbing story of how one Francis Uzo, aged 41 in Emene, near Enugu who killed himself and his wife, the Enugu State Police Command on Friday had to commence investigations to find out his reasons for the action he took.

According to Mr. Ebere Amaraizu, the command’s spokesman in a statement in Enugu.  The investigations were being handled by the homicide section of the Criminal Intelligence and Investigations Department of the command.

“The couple was reported to have been living happily until Wednesday when Francis was alleged to have murdered his 40-year-old wife, Mrs. Ozoemena Uzo. 

“Francis was also alleged to have killed himself after the incident,’’ Amaraizu said in the statement. 

“It was gathered that on that day at noon, Mr. Uzo had allegedly pounced on his wife over a yet-to-be-established issue and inflicted several degrees of injuries on her. The injuries allegedly brought about serious bleeding. 

“She was later rushed to a hospital where she was confirmed dead by the doctor on duty. 

“However, the husband of the deceased and alleged murderer was already in a coma and could not talk before the arrival of the police. 

“He was promptly rushed to Annunciation Hospital, Emene, for medical attention where he was later confirmed dead,’’ he said.

Amaraizu did add that the bodies of the couple had been deposited at the Annunciation Hospital’s mortuary, Emene.(Tragic indeed).
