“He became unconscious in the process and fell down from the chair. 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 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 has three children for my father and I am the last child.”
Speaking on the incident, a brother of the deceased said the family members had mediated several times to settle the incessant fight between his brother and his wife.
He lamented that all their efforts proved abortive.
According to him, “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 devilish act.
“But this time, she took laws into her hands and killed our brother for nothing. She must be arrested and prosecuted accordingly.”
Efforts to reach the state police spokesperson, Funmi Odunlami, proved abortive at press time.
But a top police officer confirmed to Vanguard that the fleeing suspect would soon be arrested and charged to court for murder.
