A mother of two identified as Sokari West was allegedly stabbed to death by her husband during a fight in their house in Buguma, Asari-Toru Local Government Area of Rivers State over the purported refusal of the wife to prepare a meal for her husband.
According to Newsmen the 33-year-old woman had a quarrel with her husband, Ibisaki, a native of Minama community in the same local government area, over her alleged refusal to prepare a meal for the family, which later led to a fight.
Community sources said the victim had allegedly refused to prepare the meal as ordered by her husband, and went out to celebrate her birthday with friends and returned late in the night.
The sources further disclosed that the couple has had several marital crises in the past, which led to their separation, but they later reconciled after the intervention of their families.
Also, they said that, while the couple engaged in the fight that claimed the woman’s life, the husband broke a bottle and stabbed the woman on the thigh with the sharp point, which caused serious bleeding, and all efforts to save her life failed, as there were no doctors in the hospitals she rushed to.
The victim was later taken to the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital, UPTH, in Choba, about an hour’s drive from their home, where she was confirmed dead by a doctor on duty.
A resident of the community where the incident occurred, Tonye David, said that the victim celebrated her birthday on Saturday in the community, and was killed by the father of her children on Sunday morning, during a fight that ensued between them after a domestic argument.
The report had it that the husband Ibisaki, on hearing that the victim might not survive the stabbing, submitted himself to the Buguma Police Station.
