Hauwa Esther Kadima, 61, a Mother of four and who also was an accomplished
professor of languages, and a published author, was bludgeoned (beat with a stick with heavy end) to death
at her home in Longview, Texas, on July 28th. Her last child, 31 year
old Daniel Kadima (left) has been arrested in connection with her death.
Police was called to her home on July 28th and found her beaten to death
- a bloody chair was lying next to her body. Police believe it was the
murder weapon. She had fractures to her skull with laceration of the
brain because of
blunt impact to the head, according to autopsy findings. Daniel, who had
called police to report a person lying dead in the apartment, was
arrested the next day.
Daniel's ex-wife later told police about the years she suffered abuse in
his hands and also detailed his history of mental illness. Daniel is in
police custody while they investigate the murder.
The motive for the killing is not yet known
Dr. Kadima was a long-time professor of languages and mass
communications at the University of Jos, Nigeria, where for many years
she also served as a Head of Department. She was born in 1953 in the
village of Bakin Kogi in the southern part of the State of Kaduna.
