How husband absconded after killing wife in Lagos

Tragedy struck in Egbeda, Lagos when a woman, identified
as Ronke Bewaji Shonde, was allegedly beaten to death by
her husband.

The suspect is on the run.
Ronke, according to sources, was resident, with her
husband, Lekan Shonde, and two children, at 5, Tiemo
Crescent, off Awori Street, Ile-Epo Alhaji, Egbeda where the
incident reportedly occurred.
The couple, it was learnt, fought on Friday morning during
which noise was heard from their flat.
Their nanny was said to have reported for work at about
7am but could not enter the apartment because it was
locked. She then peeped through the window and saw the
kids crying, trying to wake their mother.
A neighbour, who spoke to Sunday Vanguard, said that they
heard noise from the building but didn’t envisage it was
something as serious as death, until the nanny raised the
alarm.
The door to the couple’s flat was said to have been forced
open and the woman’s corpse found with blood stains on
her head.
Lagos State Police Command Public Relations Officer,
Dolapo Badmus, who confirmed the alleged killing, said the
incident was reported by one Mrs Tiemo E.B at Idimu
Division, saying one of her tenants appeared to have been
killed. Badmus said the suspect couldn’t be traced since the
incident occurred while his phones had been switched off.
According to her, efforts were on to apprehend him, even as
the case had been transferred to the Homicide Section of
the State Criminal Investigation Department, SCID, for
investigation.
