November 20, 2022

Police in Lagos State have arrested a 38-year old man for allegedly killing his mother-in-law and one other person after raping his wife’s teenage sister in the Ibeju-Lekki area of the state.

The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), SP Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the arrest in a series of tweets on Sunday.

According to him, the suspect killed his mother-in-law only to discover someone saw him commit the crime. He quickly killed the man that saw him.

“Preliminary investigation shows that he killed his mother-in-law because she discovered he was having carnal knowledge of his wife’s 14-year old younger sister (mother-in law’s daughter) and vowed to take it up,” he said.

He however said the case has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) for conclusion of investigation and arraignment.
