The incident occurred at about 2 a.m on Friday in Osikwu Village Awgbu, Orumba North Council Area of Anambra.
According to Mrs Georgina Aguluka, wife of the suspect, trouble started when Cletus came home in the night, drunk and looked for his touch light without success.
“The children told him that they don’t know where it was, and he pretended that all was well, only for him to wake up around 1 a.m, went inside his room, brought out a machete and stabbed the daughter,’’ she said.

She blamed the sad incident to her husband’s new found love for drinking.
Also speaking, Mr Sabastine Aguluka, the suspect’s immediate younger brother, said that his brother had been molesting people especially members of his family including himself.
