We used cutlasses and knives on her’- Domestic staff confess to k!lling their caterer boss hours after she made them a delicious meal.
The police in Ondo State have apprehended two domestic staff members involved in the gruesome murder of their employer, Olakunbi Adene, a well-known caterer in Akure. The suspects, who had been working for Adene, confessed to the crime after enjoying a meal she prepared for them following her 54th birthday celebration.
According to their statements, the suspects killed Adene after she generously treated them to a meal. They confessed that after eating, they attacked her with cutlasses and knives. During the attack, they gagged her, severed her head, and inflicted multiple other injuries, including cutting her wrists and legs and stabbing her body extensively. The crime scene was further tampered with; they attempted to stage a gas explosion by lighting the gas in the kitchen and covering the area with rubber clothes, hoping to destroy evidence and mislead investigators.
Their plan failed when the gas did not ignite as intended. They then stole Adene’s ATM cards and two Android phones, fleeing the scene. The police tracked the stolen phones to different locations, leading to their arrest.
The victim’s younger brother, Adebola Oyeneye, reported that he transported her body to the mortuary, revealing severe injuries. The victim’s husband, Dele Adene, confirmed that an autopsy would be conducted to ascertain the full extent of the injuries and find any remaining evidence, such as knives used in the attack.
