In Nkoteng, a small town in the Centre region of Cameroon, the perpetrator behind the recent heinous murder of his 18-year-old in-law, Akamba Marie has confessed to his crime.

Donald Mevoungou Mevoungou, aged 21, brutally attacked his victim with a machete a few days back, precisely on March 16, 2024.

Reports say the young girl was alone at home with her 10-month-old baby and her 11-year-old sister when the merciless act took place.

It is equally revealed that the assailant, who happens to be her brother-in-law seized the opportunity to commit the abominable act while Marie’s mother was attending the funeral of a relative.

The family had been living in a tense environment, with divisions apparent within the household. Marie’s brother-in-law, along with his accomplices, took advantage of the absence of Marie’s mother, who along with her daughters formed one faction, while her husband and his son comprised another.

The perpetrator, along with his two accomplices, is now in custody, await
ing legal proceedings.
