Uweghwerhen on seeing his three-year-old step out from their neighbour’s apartment reportedly grabbed a whip, began to flog the child, and inflicted bodily injuries on her body before she died.
On realizing what he had done, Uweghwerhen a native of Aladja Community in Udu Local Government Area of Delta State, Nigeria where the incident took place fled but was eventually arrested by the Aladja Community Vigilante at Ubogo Community who handed him over to the Police in Ovwian/Aladja Division.
