State Police Command has detained the alleged killer of his wife, Lekan Shonde
at the homicide unit of the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence
Department (SCIID), Panti-Yaba on the orders of the Command’s Police Commissioner,
Fatai Owoseni.on Monday after the suspect surrendered himself voluntarily to
the Police.
Shonde was alleged to have
beaten his wife, Ronke Shonde to death on Thursday night, after which he fled
locking their two kids in the house with the deceased’s corpse on the ground.
Confirming
the detention of the suspect, Owoseni said an autopsy will ascertain the cause
of death, adding that the police was yet to interrogate Shonde.
“As you
can see, he has just been brought in. It is still an allegation and the police
is not the court of law to pronounce anyone guilty or otherwise.
“He has
turned himself in. I confirm he is in our custody. We will ensure we get to the
root of the matter. He shall be interrogated and investigation is ongoing. We
cannot say for sure what happened but autopsy report will prove cause of
death,” the Commissioner said.
