Man kills wife and daughter because he could not feed them

A 40-year-old man from Okpoma village in Yala
Local Government Area, Cross River State,
Dominic Iyayi Ogar, has thrown his in-laws into
mourning following the gruesome murder of his
wife and their only daughter.
Ogar is alleged to have committed the dastardly
act on October 8, 2016 in Mpape, Abuja. Sunday
Sun reporter learnt from the Commissioner of
Police, Federal Capital Territory Command, Mr.
Mohammed Mustafa, that Ogar, who slept with
his wife and their only daughter on the same
bed, woke up suddenly in the middle of the
night, took a knife and stabbed both of them to
death, and they died instantly..
Mustafa said that Ogar then carried the corpses
of the dead 27-year-old wife, Omago and the
daughter, two-year-old Blessing to a nearby
nursery and primary school in the area; he
allegedly wrote a small note and dropped it
beside the corpses and then ran off to hide in
his farm.
His evil deed, however, came to light
when one of his neighbours, Destiny
Onwusuaka, noticed a trail of blood that
led to the door of the family house. In a
chat with Sunday Sun reporter,
Onwusuaka said: “It was around 7:00am
when I discovered stains of blood on the
floor and followed the trail to the door of
Ogar. When I looked into the room, I saw
a pool of blood but I didn’t see the
husband or the victims.
“It was later that I saw the two corpses where
the husband dropped them. I shouted and called
our neighbours. We then ran to the police to
report what we saw. We started searching for
the husband. It took four days before we found
him and arrested him in his farm on October 11,
2016.
Following the arrest of the suspect, the corpses
of the deceased were moved to the mortuary of
the National Hospital, Abuja.
At the Criminal Investigation Department of the
FCT Police Command, where he spoke with
Sunday Sun, Ogar said:
“I don’t have a job, I cannot feed my
family, I can only feed myself, and God
should forgive me for what I have done.
“I don’t know what came to my mind; it
was frustration that led me to stab my
wife and only daughter to enable me
survive in life.”
As it stands now, Mustafa said that Ogar’s
hope of surviving in life now lies at the
discretion of the court where he would soon be
arraigned to answer charges.by chibabynaija1
