Man kills, buries friend over affair with wife

Akure— Ondo State Police Command’s detectives have
arrested a middle-aged man identified as Moses Alugo, for
killing and burying his friend, who allegedly slept with his
wife.
Police source said that some neighbours of the deceased told
the man that his wife was usually seen with his friend,
suggesting they were having an amorous affair.
The suspect was said to have challenged his friend who
reportedly denied the allegation.
The source said the suspect left only to return, warning the
deceased of dire consequence if he failed to let go his wife.
The source added that an argument ensued, leading to the
death of the deceased.
He was later picked up by detectives from Criminal
Investigation and Intelligence Department, CIID, for murder
after the matter was reported.
Burial
However, it was gathered that the suspect, after committing
the crime, reportedly buried his friend at Akinpelu Camp,
Ode-Aye, before the incident was reported to the Police.
The state Police Command image maker, Femi Joseph, said
that before detectives could get to the scene of the crime, the
killer had buried the victim.
Joseph, who said the case had been transferred to the state
CID for further investigation, described the incident as
unfortunate and warned the people against taking laws into
their hands.
The suspect, according to the police spokesman, would soon
be charged to court after detectives are through with their
preliminary investigation.
