Similarly, another young man reportedly stabbed his brother to death at Sapele, also in Delta State.
The state Police Public Relations Officer , Mr. Charles Muka, who confirmed the two incidents, said the police had already commenced investigation into the two cases.
Eyewitnesses told journalists that a young man from Okwejegba Village, Orerokpe, had a misunderstanding with his mother, Margaret Uyuayefe.
The son allegedly hit the woman on her head following a quarrel.
The impact of the block allegedly used in hitting the mother led to her death.
The mother was rushed to a nearby clinic for treatment but as she was being transferred to Sapele General Hospital, she died.
The PPRO said, “the corpse of the woman has been deposited at Orerokpe General Hospital while the scene of crime has been visited.”
He, however, said the suspect was yet to be arrested.
On the second murder case,the PPRO explained, “On June 25, 2011, two brothers had a misunderstanding over money which resulted to a fight, following which the brother (name withheld) stabbed Kelly ( his sibling) in his stomach with a knife.
“Kelly died at the Central Hospital Sapele while undergoing treatment but the suspect was promptly arrested and detained,” the PPRO added.
