THE sleepy Osubi community in Okpe Local Goverment Area of Delta State was today thrown into mourning when a middle age woman beat her child to death.
Our Correspondent gathered that the deceased, a Primary five pupil fainted when he was being beaten by his mother, a petty trader in the community.
It was also learnt that when all efforts by neigbhours to prevail on the woman to stop beating her son failed, she was left alone.
But she got more than she bargained for when her son suddenly slumped.
It was further gathered that the deceased, whose father, Mr. Micheal Olowo, works with ARIK air at the Osubi Airport, was immediately rushed to a nearby clinic, but gave up the ghost before he could be given medical attention.
When our Correspondent got to the community at about 3.30pm, people were seen discussing the sad incident.
The deceased father was in tears when the news of his last child was broken to him. The matter was yet to be reported to the Police at the time of filing this report, but efforts were being made to hand over the ‘killer mother’ to Police in the area.
