A couple and one of their children have been burnt to death in a mysterious fire that gutted their residence at the weekend in Aponmu, Akure South local government area of Ondo state.
A second child that was rescued is receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital.
“When we got to Akure (UNIMED annex), the doctors and nurses rejected the patients, saying they cannot take care of them due to the degree of the burn and advised that we take them to the Federal Medical Center in Owo.
“Unfortunately, we lost the last grandchild, who was just two and a half years old, immediately we got to Owo.
“On Sunday, the son and his wife gave up the ghost while the only grandchild left is in a critical condition.
“The children could not send the aged woman out of the house when she started behaving strangely because it was built by her late husband”.
It was gathered that the suspect attempted suicide sometimes in 2022 by jumping into a well but was rescued by sympathisers.
Witnesses said Iforiti confessed to have burnt her son and his family because they were starving her.
Ondo Police spokesman, SP Funmilayo Odunlami Omisanya, who confirmed the incident said the case has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID)
