The murderer of Tamunoibuemie who was identified as Inimgba happens to be his father, a police source who pleaded his name not to be mentioned as he was not in the right position to report confirmed the incident.
A source who gave her name as Stella said: "The father had abandoned his child to care for himself for some period of time now I even bought a pencil for the child on Thursday to go to school I was surprise when I came back yesterday to hear that Inimgba used a very hard object on his son and killed him, nobody could explain why he did so".
Another source Said: "Just this week I saw this boy at a shop people gathered around him. When I ask what was happening they said the little boy stole a doughnut and everyone was blaming his father and the step mother because they refused to give the boy food.
"The step mum maltreats the boy too much, if you look at the boy's back you will see scars all over his body. Even the people he stole the doughnut from gave him more doughnut's and soft drink.
"When I took the boy to the house I interviewed him he was so intelligent he even ask me to buy him pencil to go to school which I did and bought him biscuit and promised him I was going to see his father. But due to my tight schedule last week.
"This morning I woke up to hear that the father beat the boy to death, the father is at Trans Amadi Police Station now while the body of the boy has been taken to cementary to bury.
