The police spokesman in the state, Mr. Muyiwa Adejobi, said no one could tell the police what could have led Olubusayo to murder his family members and commit suicide.

But he said that investigations showed that the couple had a quarrel before the incident.

He said, “After beheading his wife and daughter, Olubusayo stabbed himself, set himself ablaze and tried to jump inside a well but was prevented by neighbours.He later died in the hospital of fatal wounds he had inflicted on himself.”

Adejobi said the corpses of the deceased had been deposited at the General Hospital, Ifo, also in the state for an autopsy.

He said the Commissioner of Police, Mr. Ikemefuna Okoye, had ordered investigation into the tragic incident.
