Policemen from the Ipakodo division have arrested a
suspected killer of a family of three in Ibeshe Titun, in the Ikorodu area of
Lagos State.
It
was learnt that the suspect, whose identity had yet to be ascertained, was
arrested on Tuesday in the community.
A
resident, who asked not to be identified, said the suspect had been taken into
custody and was being interrogated by the police.
He said, “The man was arrested this morning (Tuesday)
and he confessed to being a member of the gang that attacked and killed members
of the family. He was beaten to a pulp by an angry mob as he also mentioned the
names of their sponsors. We are hoping that he would not be set free.”
It had reported that
the couple, Mr. Lucky Ebhodaghe and Mrs. Margaret Ebhodaghe, and their son,
Jonathan, were killed in their home in April.
Jonathan,
the only child of the family, was sitting for the West African Secondary School
Certificate Examination when the incident happened.
It
was reported that the assailants tore the window net and cut some burglar-proof
bars to gain access into the house.
They
were said to have inflicted machete cuts on the family members, leaving them
for dead.
