A horrifying family tragedy unfolded on Sunday when Augustus Ford, a well-known mechanic, was brutally slain by his own brother in a violent attack that has left relatives in shock.
Lily Ford, the grieving wife of the deceased, recounted the harrowing moments leading up to her husband’s death. According to her, the attacker confronted the couple with a firearm. Without warning, he fired a shot, striking Augustus, who immediately ran in an attempt to escape. However, the gunman pursued him, firing a second shot before Augustus tumbled into a drain. In a chilling turn of events, the attacker then caught up with his wounded brother and delivered multiple chops to his head.
Lily Ford believes the attack was driven by jealousy and revealed that her husband had been repeatedly threatened by his brother before the deadly encounter. She described Augustus as a hardworking and generous man who had always been helpful, even to the very person who took his life.
The attacker remains at large. As authorities launch a manhunt, the Ford family is left grappling with the unimaginable loss of a beloved husband, father, and friend.
“I want justice,” Lily Ford declared, her voice heavy with grief. “He didn’t deserve this.”
