A 12-year-old boy has killed his Nigerian mom in their home in Alabama, United States of America.
The boy has confessed that he accidentally shot his mother, a Nigerian woman, after he initially claimed she was killed by an intruder their US home.
29-year-old Ayobiyi Cook, a registered nurse also known as ‘Yo-Yo’, was found dead in her house in Forestdale, Alabama, on the 2400 block of Freemont Avenue recently.
Her son initially informed the police that an intruder entered their house, shot his mother and ran away.
Deputy Chief David Agee said: “The child originally fabricated a story that detectives determined was not possible.
“After investigation, Sheriff’s Detectives were able to determine that the victim’s 12-year-old son unintentionally discharged a firearm striking his mother causing her death.
“After more probing, the boy finally changed his story.
“The child eventually gave a true account of what happened.
“Evidence on the scene supports that the shooting was unintentional and the offense will be addressed through the Family Court system. The family has been cooperative throughout the process and the child will remain with them.”
