Man Slaughter his friend over argument surrounding ingredients to prepare soup.

 


 A farmer in Ondo state, Nigeria, Benedict Ochin (27) has been Remanded to Prison Custody for beheading his friend identified to be Ekoh.


Benedict pleaded guilty to the violent act at a magistrate court in the

 state but insists Ekoh provoked him by putting a leaf he knew he 

don’t like into a soup they were making together, something that 

Generated a heated argument between them and led to his actions.



‘”I killed my friend, Ekon because he provoked me. We were cooking

 soup and he went to pluck a leaf he knew would upset my stomach

 and put it inside the soup”.He said


The defendant reportedly told investigators that he used to have

 stomach upset anytime he consumed the leaf. and after the 

argument generated between them, they both went for their

 cutlasses and began to fight. An action that sustained both in 

multiple injuries before he was able to smash the head of his friend.
