84-year-old man butchers 75-year-old wife to death for denying him sex, blames anger
In a harrowing incident that has sent shockwaves through Edo State, Gabriel Ahuwa has found himself on the wrong side of the law, suspected of committing a heinous crime. On Saturday, August 12, 2023, he allegedly killed his wife, a tragic event that has left the community in disbelief.
Gabriel Ahuwa, now a suspect in custody of the Edo State Police Command, was subsequently paraded on Thursday, August 17, 2023, following the gruesome incident. The details of this chilling crime have sent shivers down the spines of those who have learned of it.
According to reports, Ahuwa confessed to the crime, admitting that on that fateful Saturday afternoon, he took a cutlass and inflicted fatal injuries all over his wife’s body. He confessed that he had committed this horrific act in a fit of rage because his wife had been consistently disobedient.
In a disturbing revelation, Ahuwa disclosed the motive behind his dreadful actions. He accused his now-deceased wife of not only denying him intimacy but also of infidelity. He claimed that she repeatedly declined his requests for physical intimacy and cited various excuses, including illness and ulcers. However, Ahuwa alleged that he had heard rumors of her involvement with other men, including pastors.
The couple, who had seven children together—five boys and two girls—were unable to resolve their marital issues amicably. Ahuwa claimed that he had sought help from both his family and his wife’s family, but her alleged infidelity and refusal to be intimate persisted.
Tragically, one of their daughters attempted to mediate between her parents, but her efforts were in vain as her mother continued her alleged unfaithfulness.
