“But as their father, one Danladi Mangna, faulted Bernard Danladi for being rude and flogged him with a stick, the said Bernard picked a stone and hit his father on the forehead, which resulted to a serious injury that eventually led to his father’s death.
“On receipt of the case, the suspect was arrested and interrogated. The suspect confessed to the commission of the crime,” the police commissioner said.
