14-yr-old boy kills 3 year old brother with dad’s gun while ‘acting’ movie

 

Not the family

Tragedy struck the sleepy town of Umueze, Enugwu-Achi, Oji-River Local Government Area, Enugu State last Monday following the death of 3-year-old Akachukwu in the hands of his 14-year-old brother Ebubechukwu,14, using their father’s gun. 
The brothers were said to be re-enacting movie scenes, not knowing that the gun was loaded.

According to a source, their father, Christian Odika, had left for their village square at Obodo-Ukwu Enugwu-Akwu, for a meeting, when the tragic news reached him.

It was gathered that on getting to his house, he met his son, Akachukwu, in a pool of his own blood. Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Ebere Amaraizu, said:

“Investigations into the tragic incident have commenced to ascertain the remote causes, so the law can take its course.”
