The incident is reported to have taken place last December in Kolo, Ogbia Local Government area, Bayelsa State, where 32 year old Helen Okwata Azibabeh forced her two children to drink Para-fox, a popular herbicide used for curbing weeds.
Although, her one year old daughter, Gloria, escaped death by the whiskers, her two year old brother, Innocent, was not so lucky as he died instantly after swallowing the lethal substance.
Azibabeh’s atrocity was subsequently discovered by her elder sister who promptly reported to the police when she ran to her for help. Bayelsa State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Amba Asuquo, confirmed the transfer of the case to the homicide section of the State Criminal Investigation Department where the suspect is languishing in detention. The suspect is to be charged to court for murder as soon as investigation is concluded, the police boss said.
