Man kills self, wife, daughter in Ogun

An Egun man, Olubusayo Sunday, has killed himself after hacking his wife and their three-year old daughter to death at a rustic Onigbedu commumity in Ewekoro local government area of Ogun State.
The Nation gathered that Olubusayo set himself ablaze and wanted to jump into a well near his house before concerned neighbours who saw what happened prevented him.
The neighbours reportedly took him to his house apparently to pacify him, but they were shocked after discovering that he had killed his wife and daughter, and chopped off their heads.
The state’s Police Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, said investigation into the tragedy has started, adding that the incident occurred last Wednesday in Onigbedu town in Ewekoro local government area of the state.
Adejobi, a Deputy Superintendent of Police, said in a statement that the 46- year- old Olubusayo is a farmer.
He said Olubusayo’s wife, Oyewole (40) and their daughter, Esther, were beheaded for unknown reasons.
The police spokesman said the remains of the trio have been kept at the general hospital, Ifo, for autopsy.
