Wife Slit the Husband's Throat in Lagos

A woman has been arrested in Lagos for murdering her 49-year
old husband as he slept in Lagos State.
Lucky Bassey was murdered by his wife, Grace who slit his
throat using a kitchen knife while he was sleeping on their bed.
She then proceeded to watch him bleed out and die before she
alerted their neighbours, a police source said.
The incident happened at 23 Abari street in Iyana Ipaja area of
Lagos where the couple reside.
Following the manner with which the late Lucky died, the matter
was reported to the police and Grace was arrested.
She reportedly confessed and implicated one Benjamin Otu as
her accomplice in the act. Both Grace and Otu was arrested
and the matter was transferred to SCID Panti for further
investigation.
During interrogation, it was reported that Grace and Otu
confessed to the act and told the police that it was Grace that
used a knife to cut his throat while he bled and died.
As for Otu’s role, the police source said he assisted Grace by
holding Lucky on the bed before Grace had access to slit his
throat.
It gathered that the Akwa Ibom couple had a serious
disagreement before the incident happened. The details of this
disagreement are unknown at this point.
The two suspects, Grace and Otu have been charged before
Ebutta Metta Magistrate’s court with conspiracy and murder
under the Criminal Code. They were arraigned before the
presiding Magistrate, Mrs M.O. Olajuwon.
Their plead was not taken, rather the Magistrate ordered them
to be remanded in prison custody.
