The father of the prime suspect in the murder case of late akwa ibom job jobseeker, Iniubong Umoren, has denied knowledge of the victim’s killing.
Mr Frank Akpan, the father of Uduak, also said he was not aware that the victim’s body was exhumed in his compound in Uruan Local Government Area of the state.
He said his son had a mental health challenge known as schizophrenia and was an outpatient at the University of Uyo Teaching Hospital in the state capital.
Akpan, a retired civil servant, stated this while giving evidence in his defence before an Uyo High Court presided over by Justice Bassey Nkanang.
His testimony comes after his son, the first accused person had denied knowing late Iniubong Umoren or raping her or any other woman since he was born.
Akpan told the court he was in the house of his secondary school classmate at Uko Eshiet Street on the day the incident occurred.
