The Ekiti State Police Command has arrested a man, Victor Lorjaal, a resident of Aba Ile camp, Itaji-Ekiti, for allegedly macheting his mother, Mrs Victoria Lorjaal, and his elder sister, Brenda Lorjaal, to death.
The Police Public Relations Officer, SP Sunday Abutu, said in a statement made available in Ado Ekiti on Thursday that the incident happened on Tuesday at about 07.10am on the farm.
Abutu stated, “One of the children of the deceased, who is an eyewitness, narrated that while working with the suspect on the farm, he suddenly left him and went to meet their mother and sister at a distant location where they were also working.
“According to him, shortly after the suspect left, he heard his mother scream for help, but before he could get closer, the suspect had committed the dastardly act and took to his heel with the cutlass he used, only to meet the two victims in the pool of their blood.”
The police command spokesperson said, “The Commissioner of Police, Joseph Eribo, has ordered a thorough investigation into the unfortunate incident.
“The suspect will be charged to court immediately after the completion of the investigation,” Abutu stated.
