According to an eye witness, Mr. Clement Ekwenugo, who expressed shock at the development, he said the couple had disagreements before now concerning the choice of their son as the next of kin in documents on land and house belonging to the nurse.
He said: “The nurse bought the land from her in-law and used her son as next of kin, but this angered her husband. “Pauline was in her drug store when her husband came in from behind the house through a fence to bathe her with the acid. She then ran out for help. This is the first time we are experiencing this type of incident in Nsugbe.”
