Ex-boxer beats wife to death over Christmas food
The police in Anambra State have reportedly launched a manhunt for a retired boxer, identified only as Everitus, for allegedly beating his wife, Fidelia, to death.
It was learnt that the ex-boxer attacked the wife during a disagreement at their home in Uli, in the Ihiala Local Government Area of Anambra State.
As the argument degenerated, Everitus was alleged to have beaten the wife to a pulp.
Our correspondent was told that immediately the woman gave up the ghost, the ex-boxer fled the community.
The matter was said to have been reported to the police at the Ihiala division as some youths vented their anger on the suspectās country house in Amamputu village, in the same council area.
A source, who said the incident happened on Monday, December 25, explained that the mob set Everitusā country house ablaze.
He said, āThe man and the wife had been married for some time now. They usually have disagreements. The man was a retired boxer who has become a pastor of a charismatic church.
āThe wife, who is a trader in Ekeagbagba Market, had asked him for money that she wanted to prepare food for Christmas.
āThat was what started the fight. He beat her to death over the issue. The man is on the run, while the case has been reported to the police.ā
