Ekiti couple’s lifeless bodies found in apartment

Tears flowed freely at the Ita Eku area of Igirigiri Road in Odo Ado, Ado Ekiti on Tuesday on seeing the lifeless bodies of a husband, said to be a policeman and his wife in a pool of blood in their residence.

Although it could not be ascertained whether the incident was an attack, sources told our correspondent that the couple must have killed each other going by the marks and cuts on their bodies.

A source, who pleaded anonymity, said that people were attracted to the gory scene in the morning by the cries in the neighbourhood.

The source said, “I was only passing by in the morning when I saw people gathered there weeping and gnashing their teeth on seeing the dead bodies.

“The people said they were attracted to the scene by the cries. But nobody could say what happened and what was responsible.”

Another eyewitness, who was trying to conjecture how it could have happened, said, “Going by what I saw, it was as if they had an issue which nobody can ascertain yet. It is as if the woman cut off the man’s private parts and the man in retaliation inflicted a deep cut on her. Nobody can say, but to my mind, that is what I think.”

The Police Public Relations Officer, SP Sunday Abutu, who confirmed the incident, said the law enforcement agency had begun an investigation into the matter.

Abutu said in a text message, “It is confirmed and an investigation has commenced to know the actual cause of their death.

“We are still investigating the incident. Meanwhile, their corpses have been deposited in the morgue,” the PPRO said.
