RELATIVES KILL MAN FOR BITING OFF WIFE’S NOSE.

A Purchasing Officer with the University of Calabar, Cross River State, Mr. John Odu, has been killed by the relatives of his wife after a marital squabble. The killing was  due to a fight between the couple, who were childhood lovers during their secondary school days and eventually got married in the late 80s.

We learnt that prior to the incident, the relationship between the spouses had plummeted due to frequent fighting and quarrelling. We gathered that John bit off his wife’s nose in August 17 to free himself from the intense pains he was going through when the latter grabbed his penis during a fight. After which John took his wife to the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital where the nostril was stitched and the woman was admitted.

While he was returning from the hospital the following day some members of the wife’s family accosted him close to his house and beat him until he became unconscious and they left him lying there in a pool of blood. John died on the way to the hospital, while his remains had been deposited at UCTH’s morgue.
