A
46-year old man identified as Osaremwinda Omobude Idumwonyi has reportedly
stabbed his lover to death for allegedly finding condoms in her bag.
The
deceased, who is a single mother of three children, was stabbed with a kitchen
knife three times in her mother’s room at No. 13, Ehiyoboy Street, Off Aifuwa
Street, Ikpoba-Okha local government area of Edo State.
The
woman was killed few hours after she left her lover’s residence where she spent
the night.
A
19-year-old man, Junior Omo Shaba, had last week killed his 18- year- old
girlfriend, Matilda Odiri, and dumped her corpse by the roadside.
It
has not been ascertained if the condoms were found inside thewoman’s bag while
she was with him the previous night or during the day when he entered her
aged-mother’s rented apartment.
Our
correspondent gathered that the suspect told police investigators that he
killed his lover in self defence.
According
to him, the deceased picked a kitchen knife to stab him when an argument ensued
between them but he overpowered and stabbed her.
The
woman was rushed to hospital where she later died.
Police
recovered the knife in the suspect’s kitchen.
The
Edo State Police Public Relations Officer, Chidi Nwabuzor, said police is still
investigating the incident.
