In rather mysterious circumstances, a middle aged woman in Abakaliki, the Ebonyi State capital on Wednesday, slashed the throats of her four-year-old daughter, Nneoma and her two-year-old son, Godswill, with a machete, while the kids were asleep.
Narrating the incident, the elder brother to the father of the slain children, Mr. John Uchaji, described the incident as incredible, saying that it was a mystery why the woman who is a school teacher, could have killed her children without provocation.
He added that the father of the kids came to him midnight on the day of the incident to report what happened.
