They’re Newly Wedded, But He Has Just Killed Her, Also..

What could make a man to stab to his newly wedded wife multiple times to the point of death, lock her in and set the house on fire?

Shocking, but that is the riddle that the Lagos State police command, is now trying to unravel, as confirmed in a statement by its spokesperson, Benjamin Hundeyin

It is in the case of newly wedded couple, 30-year-old man, Olajumoke, and his now late, 25 year old wife, Motunrayo Olaniyi.

The incident happened at their Amazing Grace Estate, Elepe in the Ikorodu area of Lagos State on Friday after a heated argument between the couple.

The Lagos State Police Command, in its statement, stated that after Motunrayo had stabbed Olajumoke multiple times during the altercation, locked her in the room, and set it on fire, he also inflicted wounds on himself.

“A distress call was received on October 4 at Ikorodu Division that a newly wedded couple, one Motunrayo Olaniyi, aged 30, and his wife Olajumoke, aged 25 years, allegedly engaged in a domestic scuffle in their room at Amazing Grace Estate, Elepe, Ikorodu.

“In the process, the husband reportedly stabbed the wife to death, locked her in the room, and set it ablaze, while he inflicted wounds on himself.

“Police from the Ikorodu Division responded to a distress call and put out the fire. They found Olajumoke’s lifeless body with abdominal wounds.”

Hundeyin added that Olaniyi was rescued and rushed to a nearby hospital where he was treated and discharged before being taken into police custody.

The case has left many dumb-founded, awaiting possible reasons that may have made the husband take such an action on the wife.
