Many people remain puzzled in Inisa, Sun State, after a resident, Tunde Oyeniran, allegedly hacked down his wife and two children.
The man said to be a nurse committed the crime on July 24.
Information is still scanty on why Oyeniran took the step but Spokesperson of the state police command, Yemisi Opalola, confirmed the killing, saying the suspect used the cutlass to inflict cuts on himself in the hand and stomach after killing the family members.
Opalola said:
“From the information available to us, the incident happened around 11pm last Friday in Inisa. The suspect reportedly used a cutlass to kill his wife, Sarah, and the two children living with them.
“Three corpses recovered from the scene have been deposited in a morgue in Ikirun for post-mortem examination. A cutlass was also recovered from the scene. The state Commissioner of Police, Mr Undie Adie, has directed thorough investigation into the incident.”
