Wife Allegedly Murders Husband in Cold Blood

An Ebute Meta Chief Magistrates’ Court, in Lagos on Monday remanded a housewife, Olufunmilola Ogunmuyiwa, charged with the murder of her husband, Dare Ogunmuyiwa.

The prosecutor, Sgt. Cousin Adams, said the offence was committed at about 10.00 a.m. on Jan.12, at the residence of the accused.

Adams said that the accused and the deceased were always quarrelling and fighting, adding that the regular squabble between them led the woman to move to her father’s house.

"The deceased visited the accused because she was said to be ill and there, they had a misunderstanding.

"The accused stabbed the deceased on his neck with an undisclosed sharp object which led to the death of the deceased," he told the court.

He said that after stabbing her husband, the accused screamed for help and her neighbours rushed the deceased to the hospital and later reported the case to the police.

No plea was taken from the accused.

The magistrate, Mr K.O. Ogundare, remanded the woman at the Ikoyi Prisons while awaiting the advice of the state’s Director of Public Prosecution.
