A childless woman has been arrested for allegedly killing her husband for having two kids outside wedlock.
The Bayelsa State Police Command said the woman Mrs. Eniye Zuokemefa Peter, was arrested over alleged complicity in last weekend killing of her husband, Enebraye Zuokemefa Peter.
It was gathered that Mrs. Peter’s arrest was based on a petition from her late husband’s family over her previous threats to his life during domestic squabbles on alleged infidelity and having two children outside wedlock.
A family member, who pleaded anonymity, disclosed that the suspect had on several occasions threatened to kill her husband over an allegation of fathering children outside their marriage due to her inability to bear him a child
“The marriage is filled with the turbulent tide with the woman packing out of her matrimonial home on several occasions but they recently made up when he arrived Yenagoa from a study trip abroad”, the family source said.
Bayelsa State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO ) Asinim Butswat, who confirmed the arrest noted however that she was arrested based on “previous threats”.
