When Moses saw the balance, he was alleged to have killed his friend Mr Nwachukwu in other to lay hands on the money.
According to The Nation, Mr Nwachukwu, a native of Isiala-Mbano, Imo State, was hacked to death on January 7, 2020, during a night shift at the table water company where they worked in Auchi, Edo state, after which he took possession of Mr Nwachukwu’s phone and ATM card.
The suspect also allegedly mutilated Mr Nwachukwu’s lifeless body so that it would not be recognised and dumped the headless body in a bush close to the company.
