The Ondo State Police Command has arrested three persons in connection with the death of a woman, Mrs Iyanuoluwa Adamolekun, in Similoluwa area of Agbaluku, Arigidi Akoko in Akoko North-West Local Government Area of the state.
Adamolekun, a retired teacher, was allegedly killed in her room while sleeping, by the suspects who also took away her mobile telephone last week. Her lifeless body was reportedly discovered by her grandchild in the afternoon of the fateful day.
The suspects were identified as Oluwaseun Mobarak (18) and Rilwan Oluwaseun (20), and Mobarak’s mother, who was a casual house keeper and cleaner to the victim.
It was gathered that the police tracked the phone of the deceased, leading to the arrest of one of the suspects who later assisted the police in arresting other accomplices.
A source said the two suspects (Mobarak and Rilwan) confessed that they scaled over the fence and not through the main gate so that the gate would not make a noise.
“Having gained entry into the house that afternoon, they went straight to the deceased room where she was lying on her bed after taking her bath. They confessed that they used a wooden box to shatter her head while the woman was screaming, the second suspect strangulated her,” he said.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Mrs Funmilayo Odunlami, who confirmed the development said the suspects were arrested and currently in detention.
