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 on his verified Twitter.
He said that the suspect killed his mother-in-law, and killed the person who saw him perpetrating the act.
“The suspect killed his mother-in-law, only to discover that someone saw him committing 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.
According to Hundeyin, the case has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) for the conclusion of the investigation and arraignment.
