August 4, 2016 – Mentally Unstable Edo Man Who Raped Mother, Beat Father In Benin Remanded
An insane man identified as 43-year-old Humphrey Omoregieva was today remanded for allegedly raping his mother after using a piece of wood to hit his father on the forehead.
According to police prosecutor, the suspect committed the offence on the 1st of August at his family house at No 294 Upper Mission, Benin Edo State.
Police corporal Ayo Augustine said the accused beat his mother to stupor before raping her several times.
He later damaged his parents mansion before fleeing the scene.
Chief Magistrate F E Akhere said the Egor Magistrates’ Court in Benin lacked jurisdiction to entertain the case. He ordered that copy of the case file be sent to the Director of Public Prosecution for legal advice.
The case is to come up for hearing on September 8.
People should realize that mental illness is a disease like any other and needs treatment, rather than covering it up until something drastic happens. A psychiatric evaluation needs to be carried out first, to determine whether he is mentally fit to stand trial. If he is not capable of understanding the gravity of the offense committed, or the wrongfulness of his actions, he should be committed into a mental institution rather than face trial. I wish the family well.
Well said dear…..
if he is mentally unstable what is he doing in prison
the justice system in this country is wrong, why not find him a good psychiatric home for treatment before he kill someone
I don’t think he’s mentally unstable, but possessed by evil enemies of his/his family. Mysterious things are happening nowadays ooo.
Original bastard! He’s insane and he’s in the prison, does that make sense?
Rape your own mother? This is an incestous rape, and for a man to enter back where he had come out from is about the very worst thing he can ever do?Is this guy really mentally unstable, or did they brand him that way because they couldn’t deal with the gravity of this behaviour? This is so shocking!
the man is possessed this is not prison thing, they shld take him for deliverance then mental home. before he kills his parents
A mad man is wiser than a drunkard. If it were a drunkard that committed this crime it could have been excusable but a man who‘s believed to be mad or one who just pretended to be to commit this heinous crime. He must stand trial.
Infact, this man doesn‘t look mad to me. An authentic mad man doesn‘t really need any introduction, when you see them, you will know.
I take a stroll…
Exactly my point@Sharp Shooter! I don’t think that the man is mad.
speechless… what kind of world are we into now…
1.could this be madness?
2. could this really be his enemies @ work?
or
3. could this man be a ritualist using madness as cover?
… still speechless
our police can be funny at times,what are they remanding an insane man in prison for…why not take him for treatment instead
Or could it be igwo at work! Ganga planta! Or a book warm! Pls parents, train up a child in the way he should go so that when he’s old he will not depart from it proverbs 22:6 seems he’s over pampered by parents. Spare the rod and spoil the child! He seems to come from a wealthy home.May God heal and deliver him if he’s truely mad!
