Husband beats wife to death over loaf of bread in Anambra
A young mother of five identified as Ogochukwu Anene has allegedly been beaten to death by her husband during a disagreement over a loaf of bread.
The deceased from Umuokpu village in Awka, Anambra State, was married to one Ndubisi Wilson Uwadiegwu from Enugu State and their union was blessed with four sons and a daughter.
However, the union was allegedly plagued by domestic violence.
On the fateful day Ogochukwu died, Ogochukwu reportedly asked her husband to buy bread for the family and he said he had no money.

She then used her money to buy bread for the family. Ndubuisi allegedly went into the kitchen and finished the whole bread.
When she confronted him for finishing the bread without keeping any for their children, he allegedly beat her up with his fists and a mirror.
She collapsed during the beating and died a few hours later.
Following her death, the husband has remained free and is allegedly planning to bury her without informing her people properly.
“Ogochukwu Anene was the senior prefect of Amenyi Girls’ Secondary School 2000 set. She was very intelligent”, a source said while lamenting her death.
