Mwuese Ayom, a nursing mother and student of Benue State Polytechnic, 22, has been explaining to the Benue State Police Command, why and how she killed equally 22 year-old Terseer Ayua.
Mwuese who recently had a child out of wedlock said that the deceased who was her neighbor was in the habit of taunting her over her single parenthood.
She said that on the day of the incident, the deceased had been insulting her as usual, teasing her with abandoning her four-month old baby to go and sleep around.
Then they came to fisticuffs and the deceased beat her black and blue. It was in the midst of the beating that she reached for her kitchen knife and stabbed Terseer in the stomach.
"He came and started harassing me, threatening to beat me up and claiming that I was mocking him because he had issues with somebody in the neighborhood.
“The hot exchange led to a fight. He beat me and my baby fell from my hand. It was at that point that I reached for the knife I was peeling an orange with.
“A struggle ensued and it was in the mist of the struggle that I mistakenly stabbed him in the stomach and he left me and staggered backward and started shouting for help saying that I had killed him.
“At that point passersby and neighbours gathered at the scene, some took me away while some others rushed him to a nearby hospital. I later learned that he gave up on the way to the hospital," said the distraught young mother.

Anger pushed too far. Unfortunate. Lessons on anger management learnt. May the soul of the departed rest in peace.
