Man flees after stabbing 23-year-old son to death in Delta

A father has fled his home after allegedly stabbing his 23-year-old son to death during a family conflict in Delta State, Nigeria.

In a tragic incident in the Osubi community of Delta State, Nigeria, a man has allegedly killed his 23-year-old son, Miracle, during a family dispute. The suspect, identified only as Iseleto, reportedly attacked his son with a dagger in a nearby bush before fleeing the scene. Residents reported that this violent encounter stems from ongoing tensions within the family, exacerbated by Miracle's efforts to mediate domestic discord by providing separate housing for his father's wife and Iseleto himself.

The attack occurred in a secluded area where Iseleto lured Miracle under false pretenses. After being stabbed multiple times, Miracle managed to escape and reach a roadside where he was assisted by bystanders. Tragically, despite their efforts and a quick trip to the hospital, he succumbed to his injuries. Before his death, Miracle recounted the circumstances of the attack, indicating that it was premeditated and driven by family strife.

This shocking incident highlights not only the extreme familial disputes that can escalate into violence but also raises questions about the broader social issues at play, such as domestic tensions and conflict resolution in Nigerian households. The suspect's flight signifies a further escalation in the tragedy, as local authorities will likely be involved in both the search for the perpetrator and efforts to address the underlying familial issues that led to this outcome.
