A murder suspect, identified as Gift
Edosomwan, who was arrested for allegedly killing a mother and her
three-year-old daughter, has reportedly escaped from a juvenile welfare
home, where he was being detained in Benin, the Edo State capital.
It was learnt that Edosomwan escaped last Saturday morning from the welfare home at Upper Sakponba.
The 15-year-old suspect and others at
large were alleged to have gruesomely murdered the 28-year-old victim,
Itohan Enagbare, and her daughter, Iwinosa, at about 1pm on December 9,
2015.
Southern City News had reported that the
deceased mother and child were allegedly stabbed to death at their
residence on Osaze Street, off Dumez Road, in Ikpoba Okha Local
Government Area of Edo State.
The little girl’s loud cry when she saw
that her mother was in danger had also caused the killers to stab her in
the back and chest before they fled the scene.
The landlady of the house where the
incident occurred had earlier been arrested, but was later released when
Gift (suspect) was arrested.
However, the teenager, who was said to be living with the landlady, was later arraigned in court and remanded in prison.
