VIDEO: Man Who Burnt His Wife To Death Begs For Forgiveness, Says He Never Knew She Will Die
Mr Sunday Nwaka, the suspect who burnt his wife to death after bathing her with petrol and setting her on fire, is seeking for forgiveness from his children.
Abacity.ng reports that Mr Nwaka had set his wife, Mrs Blessing, who was said to be the bread winner of the family, on fire over alleged infidelity. An act that led to her death.
Mr Nwaka, a welder from Abagana in Njikoka Local Government Area, during an interrogation, told the Commissioner for Women and Social Welfare, Mrs Ify Obinabo that it was never his intention to do so but did it out of anger because he had no prior knowledge of his wife’s whereabouts the previous day.
Visibly in tears, Mr Nwaka, who is currently in police custody, urged his children to forgive him.
However, as against his claim that it wasn’t his intention and the deceased’s family and church members’ testimony that the victim never complained of domestic violence, one of her friends, who wants to remain anonymous, revealed that the deceased confided in her that the man has a history of extreme violence and that this is not first time he made an attempt on her life.
Meanwhile, the Anambra State Government has assured that the justice must take its full course on the matter.
Speaking through the Women Affairs Commissioner, Mrs Obinabo, the state government condemned the act and assured that the administration of Prof Chukwuma Soludo would ensure that the suspect faces the full wrath of the law.
