A 47-year-old, bricklayer, Damilare Olotu poisoned his wife Mary,
for not been able to bear children in their marriage. He is now in police custody in Ondo State.
Mary, who hailed from Kwara State was a trader and
had been having running battle with the husband over barrenness. When the husband could no longer wait for the ‘right
time,’ he married a second wife, Kemi, from Igbara Oke area of the state who
bore him two children.
We heard that the second wife reportedly
insisted on moving into the suspect’s house, but the late Mary refused.The younger brother to the deceased, Mr. Lawrence
Omotosho, told newsmen that the suspect and the second wife connived to poison
his sister.
He claimed that, the sister had told him that the
suspect had severally threatened to kill her. Omotosho called on the police to
investigate the matter thoroughly and bring the culprit to book.
Spokesman of the state Police Command, Wole Ogodo,
said investigation into Mary’s death was on-going, noting that the case has
been transferred from Igbara Oke to the headquarters in Akure for further
investigation.
Meanwhile, the corpse of the deceased has since been
deposited in a mortuary for autopsy. May her soul rest in perfect peace.
