A man and his wife have been found dead in Agbarho community, Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State, following a suspected domestic dispute.
The man allegedly killed his wife before taking his own life in an incident that has left four children without their parents.
The incident reportedly occurred on Owiri Street, Agbarho, where residents said the couple had experienced repeated domestic disagreements.
A source in the community alleged that the dispute involved accusations of infidelity and the sale of landed property. However, the circumstances surrounding the deaths and the allegations have not been independently established.
A neighbour claimed that the couple had previously engaged in physical confrontations.
The deceased man’s elder brother expressed sadness over the incident but said he could not confirm what triggered the confrontation.
He disclosed that the couple had four children, with the eldest reportedly aged about 21.
The family member declined to disclose his identity or those of the deceased.
A senior police officer attached to the Agbarho Division, who spoke anonymously, reportedly confirmed that officers had recovered the bodies and transferred them to a mortuary for further investigation.
The officer also indicated that no formal complaint had been received from either family at the time of the report.
Efforts to obtain official confirmation from the Delta State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Bright Edafe, were unsuccessful.
The identities of the deceased, the precise sequence of events and the alleged motive remain unconfirmed pending further police investigation.
