59-year-old grandmother, Mrs. Agnes Elue aka Nwanyi Maluogo has been found dead in her bedroom at One Day Road, Awkunanaw area of Enugu State in southeastern Nigeria reports The NATION. A native of Ogwashi-Uku, Delta State, she was reportedly clubbed to death last Sunday by her teenage houseboy (names withheld). Before her death, she was an academic staff of the Federal Government College, Enugu and was given the nicknamed ‘Nwanyi Maluogo’ being a woman nice to all.
According to the police, the houseboy kept the murder a secret for 96 hours but he later confessed that he used a pestle to hit the late woman when an argument ensued. He is a close relative of the deceased. The murder case was discovered on Wednesday when the same houseboy reportedly went to a flat in the same compound belonging to a widow and attempted to rape her.
He had demanded for the sum of N2,000 from the widow but before she could respond, he pounced on her and tore her clothes. It was the alarm the widow raised that attracted the caretaker of the compound who rushed in and rained blows on the boy while the molested widow used a pestle on him. When he was arrested and taken upstairs to be reported to his madam, the sight the people met was her rotting body in the bedroom. He confessed immediately that he killed her on Sunday night while it was raining. Police say they are not ruling out rape in the case of the dead woman as she found naked. The boy did not give any reason for his action and investigation is still ongoing.
