Bizman Murders Brother, 13, Hides Body In A Sack

A Lagos businessman, Onyebuchi Onuoha, 48, has been cooling his feet in the cell of the State Criminal Investigation Department, SCID, Panti, Yaba, Lagos after he was arrested for allegedly killing his 13-year old brother, John Iroh Udeh.

P.M.NEWS investigations revealed that the act was allegedly committed at their 19, Ajasa Street, Olodi Apapa, Lagos, Southwest Nigeria.

It was gathered that Onyebuchi had complained to his friends that he was facing a lot of challenges in his business after it nosedived. He reportedly told his colleagues that he was now frustrated.

On the day of the alleged murder, neighbours suspected Onyebuchi’s movement and demanded to search a bag he was carrying just as he was about leaving his residence to an unknown destination.

The curious neighbours were shocked to discover the body of murdered John cut into three parts and hidden inside the sack.

Onyebuchi was promptly arrested and handed over to the nearest police station.

The matter was transferred to the Homicide section of the State CID, Yaba, for further investigation.

Police sources confirmed the incident and said Onyebuchi was in their custody and was still undergoing interrogation.

Contacted on phone this morning, the Investigating Police Officer, IPO, who did not disclose his identity declined to comment on the incident.

He said that he could not make any comment until he got the doctor’s report.

When P.M.NEWS visited Onyebuchi’s neighbours at his residence this morning, they confirmed the incident.

Expressing shock that the businessman could go to that length, the neighbours said Onyebuchi had confided in his friends that he was not making any headway in his business. But they could say why he allegedly butchered his little brother.

Meanwhile, the dismembered body of 13-year old John Udeh has been taken to the Isolo General Hospital mortuary for autopsy.

The businessman and the late John were said to be from the same village in Eastern Nigeria.

Onyebuchi reportedly brought little John to Lagos a few years ago.
