Mbouda: Man decapitates father for food

By Stephen TADAHA

A 26-year-old man in Mbouda reportedly decapitated his father for failing to satisfy his hunger. The dreadful incident happened on the evening of Sunday, March 17, 2024, in the Lahtet neighborhood in the Mbouda subdivision of the West Region.

According to close sources, the murderer whose name we got as Kenne Arrold had reached their family compound, demanding food to eat from his 70-year-old father who was unable to grant his his request. The man in reaction, with the help of a machete, slaughtered his father Mr Supawo Lucas in the presence of a child who was the only witness.

Many suspect he did that under the influence of hard drugs given that Arrold is well known as a notorious drug consumer.

Mr Supawo Lucas’s body was later discovered in a pool of blood and taken to the mortuary of the Montchio hospital. The aged man was a primary school bus driver in Mbouda town, he leaves behind a wife and many children.

The culprit on his part is being detained by security forces.
