A 44-year old man, Edoghogho Omorogbe, who murdered his mother in-law, Sister in-law and a six months old baby with cutlass, has finally given reason why he did so.
P.M.EXPRESS reports that the incident happened on September 10, 2019, at their residence at Iguadolor Community in Ovia North East Local Government area of Edo State.
The mutilated bodies of the deceased identified as Mrs. Alice Omorogbe, 52, Mrs. Blessing Efe, 25 and her baby were discovered the following day.
Edoghogho, who spared a 2-year-old girl while carrying out the attack, said he was angry with his in-laws for hiring boys to beat him whenever he had issues with his wife.
However, the Edo State Police Command has arrested Omorogbe for the dastardly act and he is facing murder charge.
“I am a tipper driver but since the rains started I was doing menial jobs. I killed them out of annoyance because my mother in-law used boys to beat me up. She would say I am talking to my wife. If I quarrel with my wife, she will send boys to beat me up.”
“I didn’t know the cutlass will meet the baby. After I killed them, I ran away. Later I came out and went to tell my father what I did. I have not seen my wife since I killed her mother and sister” he confessed.
The Edo State Commissioner of Police, Danmallam Abubakar, said the arrested suspect will soon be charged to Court.
