The deceased identified as Uwam by eyewitnesses, was stabbed in the stomach with a broken bottle by Osho, one of the deaf man, when he attempted to stab Unegbu.
The fight reportedly broke out when one of the deaf man stepped on Unegbu and he demanded an apology from the man, not knowing that he was could not speak no hear him when he demanded for the apology.
The disagreement degenerated into a fight and all efforts by people around to break them up proved abortive.
