Police operatives from the Ondo State Command have started manhunt for a housewife, Mrs. Tayelolu Solomon, after she murdered her 6-year old husband, Felix Solomon, with a pestle while he was asleep and fled. 
P.M.EXPRESS reports that the incident happened at GRA, Ondo town, where they reside.
The couple was said to have had a lingering crisis and the woman, a mother of three children, had threatened to kill him but the deceased did not know she was serious until she killed him as confirmed by their son, Ibukun Solomon, who witnessed the incident after they had a minor argument.
“My mother killed my father with a pestle in my presence and took to her heels. She used the pestle to hit his head when he was asleep,” he narrated.
“Earlier on the fateful day, a minor argument had ensued between them that resulted into a fight. After the fight, my father went to lie on the chair and my mother hit his head with the pestle
He became unconscious in the process and fell down from where he was sleeping. My mother used the pestle to hit my father’s head three times and he later died.”
“When my mother saw that my father was already unconscious, she hid the pestle at the back of our house and ran away.”
“I alerted some of the residents, who rushed my father to the hospital. But he later died. His corpse has been deposited at the morgue. My mother had three children for my father and I’m the last child” the son said.
The deceased was on the floor of the house when the community people arrived at the scene and contacted the Police for help. It was gathered that before the ugly incident, the deceased had planned to report the woman to her family before she sent him to his grave.
A member of the deceased family said they were making efforts to settle the incessant fights between the couple before tragedy struck as that was not the first time such face-off would occur between the couple and the family would settle it amicably.
“The woman had been threatening to kill her husband whenever they were fighting. And the deceased informed us about the threats. But we never knew she would carry out the act. But this time, she took laws into her own hands and killed our brother for nothing. She must be arrested and prosecuted accordingly.”
Meanwhile, the woman is still on the run as the Police were said to be making efforts to arrest and charge her for murder under the Criminal Laws of the State.
