A 55-year old woman identified as Josephine Igbineweka has been killed by her last child, Caleb Obasogie, after ripping out her womb.
Caleb, aged 22, was said to have killed his mother for her refusal to give him money.
The killing occurred at about 8:00 am at their residence in Benin City.
Witnesses said Caleb locked himself and his mother in one of the rooms and used a broken bottle to stab her repeatedly until her intestines and womb were ripped out.
He was said to have dangled the intestines and his mother’s womb before neighbours who could rush in to rescue her.
Neighbours said the deceased passed the night at a neighbour’s house because her killer-son locked her out for not giving him the money he demanded from her.
Caleb is a final year student of the University of Benin (UNIBEN) while his late mother was a beer parlour operator in Benin.
Some witnesses described the incident as horrible and a scene from a vampire movie.
Spokesman of the Edo State Police Command, DSP Moses Nkombe, confirmed the incident and said the son has been arrested by the police.
