Father Flogs Three-year-old Son to Death for Urinating On Bed

A 26- year-old man, Ikechukwu Okoro is currently in custody of the Ebonyi State
Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) for allegedly beating his three-year-old
son, Chinedu to death.
Okoro, according neighbours woke up by 4.30am on September 13, 2013 to
discover that his sick and only son had defecated on the bed.
Apparently angered by the boy’s action, he picked a cane and flogged him
repeatedly until the boy gave up the ghost.
He rushed the dead boy to a nearby clinic but he was confirmed dead on arrival.

He told the police that he never knew what came over him, “It was out of
annoyance that I flogged my son, Chinedu to death. The boy had been sick for
some time. It was when I woke up around 4.30am that fateful day that I
discovered that Chinedu had defecated on my mattress.
Okoro, a native of Isieta Amanato, in Isu Onicha Local Government Area of Ebonyi
State, further explained that his wife, Uchechi abandoned him in 2009 with
Chinedu, his only son who is now deceased.

Ebonyi State Police Command through its State Criminal Investigations
Department, (SCID) is currently interrogating Ikechukwu Okoro at Isieta Amanato
Isu Onicha.

The Ebonyi State Commissioner of Police, Mr Maigari Abbati Dikko said that it was
a shock to him that the suspect, Ikechukwu confessed to have flogged his own
son, Chinedu to death.
