Police inspector kills wife, flees
LAGOS – The Lagos State Police Command has begun a manhunt for an Inspector, who last Friday, allegedly stabbed his wife to death in the Mushin area of Lagos.
The alleged killer, one Sunday Iluegben, attached to Ikeja Division, allegedly stabbed his estranged wife on the head and neck at midnight. She was said to have bled to death.
Vanguard gathered that the couple was living apart, over an unknown cause. But the deceased, Caroline Iluegben, was said to have usually went to visit her four children and sometimes passed the night at the man’s house.
Caroline had reportedly visited her children penultimate Thursday and decided to sleep over. The unexpected occurred after one of her children woke up the next day and found her mother in a pool of blood on a mattress she slept with her husband in the sitting room.
The child’s scream alerted her siblings and neighbours, who contacted policemen at Olosan Police Station.
Police sources quoted the children as saying that their father woke up about 5.30 a.m. and left for work at 7 a.m.
“Their daughter said a scarf stained with blood was used to cover her mother’s mouth. She was rushed to the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, LUTH, Idi-Araba,where she later died at 12 noon on Friday,” a police source said.
