Boy, 14, Kills Brother, 3, while acting out a Movie Scene

Tragedy struck the 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.

A source said 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 also gathered that on getting to his house, he met his son, Akachukwu, in a pool of his own blood.

“Investigations into the tragic incident have commenced to ascertain the remote causes, so the law can take its course,” Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Ebere Amaraizu, said.

Lesson: Keep guns whether loaded or not, and any other type of weapons away from the reach of children.
