A retired nurse, Mrs Esther Amali and her housemaid identified as Mercy Mwuese have been stabbed to death by a young man who invaded their residence located around the Federal Low Cost, Makurdi, Benue State capital.
The incident, according to an eyewitness, happened on Sunday at about 4:30 pm.
An eyewitness told PUNCH Metro that the suspected murderer had entered the compound and attacked the housemaid who was in her 20s at the time the retired nurse was away.
There were two versions of the reason why the suspected murderer invaded the house.
A version claimed that the housemaid was impregnated by one of the rival cultists who had allegedly killed one of their members.
Another version claimed that the deceased’s housemaid had a misunderstanding with the suspected murderer because of his friend whom she (Mercy) accused of being responsible for her pregnancy and now the father of her baby.
