The young man later resorted to transporting his father’s corpse from the compound to the room.

The witness said the boy went ahead to make use of the opportunity of his father’s death to withdraw the latter’s wallet after which he got to,”… a local bar where he will have a good ice-cold drink with his feet crossed.”

While family members thought the old man died in his sleep, medical reports established that he was hit by a stone in the back of the skull.

The young man was later taken to the police station where he ended up confessing and admitting the murder act.
