Policemen in Lagos have arrested suspected cultist, simply known as Evens, who murdered his live-in-lover and her five years old son, over allegation that the lady was dating a rival cult group member.

The shocking incident which left many residents in panic occurred at Igando area of Lagos. According to a report by NewTelegraph, Evens, 32, was believed to have beaten his lover to death and later killed her five-year-old son, a witness to the murder of his mother, to cover his crime. Determined to cover his track, Evens dumped the corpses of mother and son in the building’s septic tank and bolted from the community. The suspect had been described as one of the big guys in the community and drives a ‘big car.’

Nobody was sure when the deceased were murdered, but parents of the lady had already declared her and her son missing. The bodies were discovered on Friday after a putrid stench started emanating from the septic tank’s direction. It was gathered that the slab of the septic tank had earlier been removed to evacuate the waste in it. When the slab was replaced, it was not cemented.

Evens allegedly slided the slab open, dumped the bodies, replaced the slab and disappeared. When the stench started, residents removed the slab and saw the bodies. Our correspondent, yesterday, visited the house where the incident occurred.

A resident, who does not want his name in print, said:“Finding the corpses of the lady and her son in the septic tank took everyone by surprise.

 

Last year September, when the septic tank in the compound was spilling, we decided to evacuate it.
