Man ‘Sleeps With Lifeless Body’ After Killing Woman In E

Police from Ugbor police station in Benin City have evacuated the lifeless body of 46 years old Rosemary Ifeoma popularly known as Mama Samuel at an uncompleted building in Darlington Ogbeifun Street, Off Ogbekan Village Road, Ugbor in Oredo Local Government Area of Edo state.

The place has been the abode of the deceased with her 13-year-old simply identified as Samuel.

Mama Samuel’s body was found naked with legs astride and police said they saw semi liquid substances suspected to be spermatozoa on her which was an indication that the suspect, Kingsley Adebayo aged 23 may have, in addition to killing her, had carnal knowledge of the lifeless body. The suspect denied the allegation though.

According to Vanguard, Adebayo would have escaped the law but for the 13-year-old Samuel who he had earlier hit on the concrete floor of the building and took him for dead until he regained consciousness several hours later and narrated what happened.

The suspect, believing that Samuel was dead, pounced on his mother and allegedly hit her with a log which was also reportedly found at the scene of crime by the police.

Adebayo said: “I am 23 years old, from Ibillo in Akoko-Edo Local Government Area and I am a bricklayer. I met her twice, it was a Yoruba man opposite where we were working who introduced her to me and she said she was a caterer and also engaged in house cleaning.
“The woman said she needed six bags of cement for work on her caravan and I said I didn’t have six bags of cement for her.

“On the day of the incident, when we closed from the site, my brother, myself, the woman and her son were all going together to her house but my brother turned back and the three of us went to her house where she said she wanted to show me the caravan and to give me wheelbarrow to go and bring cement.

“I told her I didn’t have cement so she asked me to leave the house and I left. But I missed my way because it was already dark and after walking around, I found myself in the building again but this time they had locked the gate so I jumped over the fence and removed the bench they used in closing the door.

“I then told her I wanted to sleep there because I had missed my way, but she said no, that I should go and bring the cement before she could listen to me. The son also asked me to leave the house and threatened to attack me with knife.

“He actually went inside to bring a knife and wanted to attack me so I pushed him and he fell and fainted.

“The mother then started struggling with me and didn’t want me to go, so I pushed her and she hit her head on the wall and fell with blood coming out of her head.

“I quickly carried her son and put him on the bed and I left the place before police came to arrest me that the woman was dead.

“I did not hit her with any wood; I did not also rape her. It was not my intention to go and kill anybody. It was a mistake and I am begging the government to forgive me.”
