The Awo Idemili community in Imo state was thrown into pandemonium as a woman stabbed three of her own children before her husband could return from the vigil, Daily Trust reports.

Narrating what happened, her mother-in-law said the woman persuaded her husband simply identified as Emeka Ajoihe to go for a Virgil while she stays at home with the children.

She was said to have bolted the door from behind as soon as the husband left the house.
