The wife of
a Lagos State socialite, identified only as Josephine, has been killed after
sex romps with her boyfriend in a guesthouse in the Isheri Olofin area of the
state.
PUNCH Metro
gathered that the victim had gone to the guesthouse with her boyfriend,
Augustine Dunkwu last Tuesday around 2.30pm.
They were
said to have drunk different brands of beer after which they went into a room.
Our
correspondent was told that after about 45 minutes of marathon sex, the woman
fainted.
When efforts
to resuscitate her reportedly failed, the suspect allegedly dressed up and left
the guesthouse.
The
receptionist, who became suspicious that Dunkwu left without his partner, was
said to have quickly dashed into the room and saw that the woman was
unconscious.
Our
correspondent gathered that the worker raised the alarm, and the suspect was
chased, apprehended and handed over to policemen from the Idimu division.
Josephine’s
corpse was subsequently deposited in a morgue.
Our
correspondent gathered that the owner of the guesthouse had made statement at
the police station.
When our
correspondent visited the guesthouse on Jemi Alade Street (Pictured), he was received by an elderly man and a young
lady, who confirmed the incident.
The man, who
appeared to own the guesthouse and asked not to be identified, said the suspect
had attempted abandoning the corpse in the room.
He said,
“This is a public place and people come in and go out. We are not responsible
for what happened.
“They came
in and had drinks. There were several others here that day. After they finished
drinking, they went into a room.
“I don’t
know what happened between them; but some minutes later, he stepped out of the
room and left the guesthouse. The receptionist observed that he didn’t leave
with his woman friend and when she went inside to check, she discovered that
the lady was unconscious and quickly raised the alarm.
“People ran
after him and saw that he had already boarded a vehicle. We had to drag him
down from the bus.
“The
incident really caused commotion in the guesthouse as some of our customers
fled. We alerted policemen, who arrested him and removed the corpse.”
A source in
the area said Josephine was the wife of a socialite, whom he refused to name.
He said,
“They both had drinks in the guesthouse before going into the room where they
had sex. It is possible that the man used drug or the woman was not strong
enough to withstand the sex. She passed on during the romp.”
The source
said the police from the Idimu division took the corpse to a mortuary.
Our
correspondent gathered that the matter had been transferred to the State
Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, Yaba.
The state
Police Public Relations Officer, SP Dolapo Badmos, said investigations were
ongoing into the incident.
She said,
“We were told that on January 24, 2017, the suspect and the deceased lodged in
a guesthouse.
“The suspect
later attempted to check out without his guest, prompting the receptionist to
run after him.
“He was
taken back to his room where the lifeless body of his girlfriend was discovered
without any sign of violence.
“The corpse
was removed and deposited in the Mainland General Hospital Mortuary, Yaba.
Investigations are ongoing.”
