A man in Delta is said to have ended the lives of 2 women after an argument which erupted as a result of his
- perceived impotence.
John Otoreh stabbed his girlfriend, simply identified as Rosemary, and her sister to death after the duo mocked him for not being able to have sex.
The incident occurred yesterday evening in the Ishiagu community near Asaba, the state capital and has left residents in shock.
Information gathered reveals that trouble started in the early hours of Friday after a heated quarrel ensued between the lover and his girlfriend identified as Rosemary (surname withheld) over his inability to make love to her.
While the quarrel degenerated, an insider said that the victim (his girlfriend) began to molest the suspect with all manners of ridicules especially telling of his inability to make love, a situation the younger sister joined to announce.
Earlier, the suspect had on Friday sound a note of warning to the duo but fell on deaf ears as they allegedly continued to mock him of his deficiencies as well as calling him unprintable names.
The police public relations officer in the state, DSP Celestina Kalu, confirmed that while the insults and ridiculous statements rained on the suspect lasted, he was said to have been provoked and sought for broken bottles and allegedly stabbed the victims in their stomachs while effort to rescue them from serious bleeding by neighbours who rushed to the scene proved abortive.
An eye witness said that the suspect had about two months ago threatened to eliminate his girlfriend over the use of abusive words especially his alleged inability to consistently make love to her.
Family sources said that the suspect had been embattled over the intermittent failure of his genital organ; a situation he has consulted several native doctors after paying huge sums of money with assurances of effectiveness that never worked. But another source said the victim was caught with the suspect’s friend having sexual affairs; a situation that provoked him the more and he allegedly insisted on eliminating her.
