Woman kills husband’s nephew with knife

 

A 30-year-old housewife, Cynthia Olukiowu, in the Jafa Agbado area of Ogun State, has been arrested for allegedly stabbing one Habeeb Aremu, 18, a nephew of her husband, to death over a broken mirror.

The woman was arrested on Saturday by policemen attached to Agbado divisional headquarters.

It was learnt that a misunderstanding ensued between the two when a mirror being used in the house got broken and the deceased was alleged to have broken it.

The allegation sparked a heated disagreement between the deceased and the suspect, who allegedly pulled a kitchen knife and stabbed him in the neck. He slumped and died afterwards.

Police spokesman, Abimbola Oyeyemi, said the victim was found in a pool of blood and rushed to hospital where he was confirmed dead by the doctor on duty.
