Houseboy allegedly murders his employer with pestle, tries to frame girlfriend[VIDEO]

A houseboy is charged with using a pestle to murder the lecturer who also happens to be his employer.

The deceased, Chima Anolue, was a well-liked lecturer at Nnamdi Azikiwe University in Awka’s Psychology Department.
The incident happened in Ifite village in Awka on the evening of July 14, 2023.

According to reports, Chima Anolue and his domestic helper got into a fight, which started the deadly attack.

Suspect said;

When he came back, he told me to cook rice. And as I was cooking the rice, he asked me why I did not wash plates. I did not reply. He then asked why I wasn’t responding to his question,” the suspect said.
“In the process, he slapped me. But I told him I usually have ear problems, and that people don’t slap me. As I was saying that, he angrily asked if I was still talking while he was talking. And therefore, he slapped me again and brought out cane and started flogging me all over,” 
“Then in the process, I got angry, and we started fighting. It was also in the process of that fight that I picked up the pestle in the kitchen and hit him on the head.” 

It is alleged that the suspect repeatedly struck his employer with a pestle after being questioned about the completion of his household duties.

Shockingly, after rendering Chima Anolue unconscious, the suspect is said to have further assaulted him with a knife, apparently to make it appear as if a third party had attacked the deceased.

Local security personnel apprehended the suspect, who later confessed to the crime.

A family source said;
While friends and relatives of the deceased were taking him to the hospital that night for medical attention after the encounter, the suspect was attempting to choke him to death right inside the vehicle where he was sitting close to him allegedly to conceal his atrocious acts. It was in the process that we discovered what was going on and therefore we started suspecting him. As that was going on also, the victim who was still alive then, used his last strength to mention the suspect’s name, before he finally gave up the ghost,”
“In his confessions, the suspect first said that it was the girlfriend of the deceased who visited him that night that attacked him. However, he eventually confessed that he was the person who killed him with a pestle.”
