Photos and video of the woman and her children who were brutally murdered by her 35-year-old husband, Uwaila Idehen in Ovbiogie community, Ovia North East local government area of Edo state have emerged.
The suspect who is currently cooling off in police custody said he killed his 28-year-old wife identified as Maureen and two sons in a fit of anger, following an allegation of infidelity. The little daughter identified as Precious was however lucky.
He revealed he had gotten into a heated argument with his wife after she called him out for having numerous girlfriends because he’s always not around. The wife had threatened to also engage in extramarital affair if he does not stop.
Idehen reportedly stormed out of the house after she made the threat and returned some minutes later with a double-barrel rifle he got from a retired police officer, which he used to kill his wife and their two sons.
The state Police Commissioner, Hakeem Odumosu, said the suspect would be charged for murder and perhaps unlawful possession of a firearm.
