12-year- Old- Boy Hangs Himself In Imo After Parents Death

It was also learnt that he stayed with his late mother’s sister with his two siblings and had often complained of how unfair the world had turned to him.

Odurukwe was said to have gone to the stream to fetch water alongside his two small siblings and while he had fetched water for his siblings, he asked them to start going.

Report said that he made for a nearby stick to test the depth of the stream. Not satisfied with the shallowness of the stream, he shifted ground and brought out a long rope from his pocket, tied it on an Indian bamboo tree around, put his neck and fell down. He did that once more and went for a stronger bamboo where he again tied his neck and was strangled to death.

Eyewitnesses said that the police were immediately alerted by some elderly people who came to fetch water.

As at the time of going to the press, his corpse has been deposited to the mortuary and investigation still ongoing.
