The deceased is said to have gotten home one day and found them in an uncompromising position and immediately rebuked them.
This got Ogbonna angry, prompting him to pounce pon his mother, beating her to death. Upon realizing she was dead, he and the aunt tried to run but Ogbonna was caught
A resident in the community who spoke on the condition of anonymity said
”The boy was having a love affair with his mother’s sister. The love affair has been going on for a long time. But his mother kept warning him against it. Everybody in this village has been warning the boy against the love affair because it is a taboo in Igbo land. Any time his mother warns him to stop the love affair with her sister, Agaezichi will beat the woman. “Yesterday, his mother saw him with the girl and warned about the consequences of their love affair and Agaezich rained blows on the woman. She fell to the ground and died. When they saw, she has died, they ran away but Agaezichi was arrested by some youths while his girlfriend escaped.”
