By Okey Ndiribe & Emman Ovuakporie

ABUJA-Brother to the late Godswill Udechukwu, Mr Kennedy Monye, yesterday, told the House Committee on Diaspora of how his brother was allegedly murdered by 30 inmates in a Dublin prison in April. 


Monye narrated how Udechukwu was severally stabbed by the inmates and subsequently rushed to the Saint James Hospital in Dublin where he finally died without medical attention. 

He explained: "How did prison inmates get knives and sharp objects used to stab my brother if there was no connivance with the authority? 

"Even before he was sentenced to life imprisonment over the murder of his wife, the Irish press had already condemned him, describing him as a monster. " 

Displaying the various publications before the committee, Monye said: "How could my brother get a fair trial after all these publications and now they have killed him. All we want is for the Irish government to bring the perpetrators of this heinous act to book. 

"We equally want the son of our brother, Master Jaydin and Udechukwu corpse released to us."
He further explained how Udechukwu was sentenced to life imprisonment in July 2006 over the murder of his wife, Mrs Natasha Udechukwu. He was killed on April 6, 2013.
