A 44-year-old man, identified as Edoghogho Omorogbe, has been arrested over
the alleged killing of his mother in-law, sister in-law and a six months old
baby.
The victims were identified as Alice Omorogbe aged 52; Blessing Efe aged
25; and a baby named Osarumwense.
Edoghogho was said to have killed
the three on September 17, 2019 at their residence, Iguadolor Community in Ovia
North East Local Government Area of Edo State.
A two-year-old girl inside the room at the time of attack was spared as the
mutilated bodies of victims were discovered the following morning.
Edoghogho said he killed his in-laws because of the way they were hiring
boys to beat him anytime he had issues with his wife.
According to him, I killed them out of annoyance because my mother in law
used boys to beat me up. She would say I am talking to my wife. If I quarrel
with my wife, she will send boys to beat me up. I didn’t know the cutlass will
meet the baby. After I killed them, I ran away. Later I came out and went to
tell my father what I did. I have not seen my wife since I killed her mother
and sister.”
