The Lagos State Police Command has arrested a 38-year-old man for allegedly killing his mother-in-law and another person after raping his wife’s teenage sister in the Ibeju-Lekki area of the state.
The Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the arrest on his verified Twitter.
He said that the suspect killed his mother-in-law and the person who saw him perpetrating the act.
“The suspect killed his mother-in-law, only to discover 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 had carnal knowledge of his wife’s 14-year-old younger sister (mother-in-law’s daughter) and vowed to take it up,” he said.
Hundeyin said the case has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department for the conclusion of the investigation and arraignment.
