A woman identified as Osarumense, who was said to be preparing for the naming ceremony of her twins, has been killed by her husband in Oka quarters, Upper Sakponba, Benin- City.
The incident occurred after a heated argument between the couple about when the woman should breastfeed the babies.
The husband, Endurance Enadeba, had told his wife to breastfeed the babies who were crying but the woman said she wanted to urinate first. He allegedly went to where she wanted to urinate and a fracas ensued which led to him hitting her on the head with an object.
The father of the deceased, who gave his name as Eghenayayore, was seen weeping and cursing profusely over the corpse.
He said his daughter called to inform him about the incident but that she died before they rushed her to the hospital and her husband fled when she collapsed.
“He killed my daughter because of breastfeeding the twins. The twins are at home now, who will breastfeed them now? Why did he kill my young daughter. This girl was born in 1996. We were preparing to name the babies tomorrow because it was their first issue,” he lamented.
Police spokesman, DSP Moses Eguavoen, confirmed the incident. He said the husband had been arrested from where he was hiding.
