Tragedy struck in the Gbagada area of Lagos after a yet-to-be-identified woman was stabbed to death by her house help in her apartment.
No one could tell when precisely the fleeing house help, identified simply as Peter, allegedly committed the murder.
But the lifeless body of the woman, according to information gathered by Vanguard, was discovered on Saturday, March 9, 2024, by her son, who came visiting.
The deceased was said to be the only occupant in the building.
There were three shops in front of the building.
A resident who spoke on the condition of anonymity said, “The woman’s son, upon arriving at the compound, went straight to his mother’s apartment, only to find her lifeless body on the staircase, with blood all over.
“A long piece of wood suspected to be the murder weapon was also found. By then, the body has started swelling, suggesting that the woman might have been killed days before”.
It was gathered that the fleeing house-help resumed work a week before the tragedy occurred.
A relative of the agent that brought the fleeing househelp had been arrested, as the unidentified agent was nowhere to be found.
Police officers at the Ifako Police Division were said to have visited the scene and evacuated the corpse.
