A man, Michael Chidozie, has allegedly beaten his wife, Mrs Ufuoma Eriera Michael to death following an alleged domestic feud.

Reports say that Ufuoma, a mother of three boys (age 10, 7 and 5) died from the injuries which she sustained from the beating.

Ebi Layo, a close friend to late Ufuoma, who narrated the ordeal which the deceased had been going through before her death, said the 32-year-old victim who hailed from Delta State, always received severe beating from her husband almost on a daily basis.

She said that the suspect would lock the room and beat her to his satisfaction before letting her go.

According to her, in the instant incident, which occurred at night, the wife did not come out as usual or respond to the calling of the children.

The husband, she said, later came out to order the children to go to bed.

Layo said that the suspect called the brother of the deceased the following day and informed him that there was an emergency.

When the brother rushed down to his house, he met the lifeless body of the victim but did not meet the husband at home.

It was gathered that the remains of the victim has since been deposited in the morgue, while the suspect is still at large.

The children are also in police custody pending when family members will come to claim them.
