A middle age Nigerian, Godwin Idon, has beaten his wife, Mrs Marvis Idon, to death for killing a snake inside their home in Uzebba-Iuleha, Owan-West Local Government Area, Edo state.<\/p>\n

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that serious quarrel ensued between the couple after one of their sons had allegedly killed a snake in their living room.<\/p>\n

The husband was said to have been infuriated by the action which he described as a taboo in the community.<\/p>\n

NAN reports that after a week of quarrel, the wife in company of her mother-in-law decided to seek the intervention of a native doctor to know the implication of the son\u2019s action.<\/p>\n

It was when she returned that the husband accused her of foul-play and subsequently hit the wife on the head with a plank during a fight before the woman collapsed and died.<\/p>\n

The remains of the deceased, who died on the spot, had been deposited in a morgue in Sabongidda-Ora, headquarters of the council.<\/p>\n

The Police Area Commander, Mr David Jimwang, who confirmed the incident, told NAN that the man has been arrested and transferred to the state police command, Benin for further investigation.<\/p>\n
