The Edo State Police Command has arrested a 32-year-old man, Etinosa Aiguokun, who allegedly killed his 74-year-old father, simply identified as Pa Aiguokun, and his wife, Mrs Roseline, with a pestle.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST gathered that the incident happened last Wednesday at Evbomore community in Ovia North-East Local Government Area of the State during a disagreement, which led to a physical attack.
\nIn the course of the physical attack, the suspect was alleged to have run into the kitchen, took a pestle and smashed his 74- year-old father\u2019s head in the sitting room.<\/p>\n

His stepmother, who was said to have rushed to the scene to see what happened after hearing her husband scream, was also hit.<\/p>\n

The pair were said to have died instantly.<\/p>\n

He was said to have dragged their corpses to the back of the house where he dumped them near a soak away.<\/p>\n

A source in the community, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the suspect used weed to cover the bodies, cleaned up the blood stains and relaxed in the house.<\/p>\n

The source further said the suspect collected his late father\u2019s mobile phone and sold it for N25,000 at the kings square in Benin City.<\/p>\n

He added that when other children of the deceased returned home, they started looking for their parents, unknown to them that their brother had killed them.<\/p>\n

He said the suspect also joined the other children in search of their parents.<\/p>\n

The source explained that when the children did not see their parents, they reported a case of missing persons to the Ugbowo Division of the Nigeria Police Force.<\/p>\n
