Angered over this, his father was said to have smashed the phone, an action which infuriated Arinze causing him to retaliate. He also smashed his father's phone and as if that was not enough, he picked a cutlass which he used to inflict injuries on his father. When he realized his father was dead, he quickly set the house on fire with his father's body still inside so as to cover up his crime. He then went into hiding to avoid the wrath of of relatives and residents.
It was the flames that attracted neighbours to the scene and when they got there, they found the deceased with his skull ripped open and blood gushing out inside the burning house.
The neigbours however, claimed that Arinze is mentally challenged, adding that before the ugly incident, they had seen him at noon burning some family members’ cloths downstairs before moving upstairs to spread the entire house with petrol and set the house on fire while his father was in a pool of his blood.

One of Arinze's siblings said, "I don’t believe whatever Arinze is saying to defend this tragedy that befell our household. At a young age, he had brain damage and it is not everybody that knows. It is only us members of his family that are aware of his situation. Whenever he gets upset, it’s always uncontrollable. It comes to him in a flash like an evil spirit. That he claimed that our father offended him is the one thing I don’t believe."
The residents and family members of the deceased had deposited his body at a mortuary, but the next day, they took the body to hi village in Awka, Anambra State for proper burial.
