Like a scene from a horror movie,
a police corporal, Lucky Ikharia, on October 30, allegedly used a bus to crush
the legs of his wife, Dupe. Having left her for dead, Lucky went home where he
allegedly stabbed his baby, David, to death, ripping out the toddler’s
intestines.
Still in a rage, the policeman
turned the knife on himself in an attempt to take his own life.
Punch Metro, however, learnt that
Lucky and his wife survived but both were in critical conditions.
The incident occurred at the
family’s rented apartment in Kale Close, Mafoluku, Oshodi last week.
It was gathered that four days
prior to the incident, 34-year-old Lucky, who hails from Sabon Gida Ora, Edo
State, had a quarrel with his wife, Dupe over N2,000, after which he reportedly
sent her packing.
The policeman, who is attached to
the Makinde Police Division, Oshodi, Lagos had also ‘seized’ their only child
from Dupe as a means of ‘punishing’ her.
It was learnt that around 8pm on
the day of the attack, Dupe, a 30-year-old indigene of Abeokuta, Ogun State,
was heading for her mother’s house in Mushin unknown to her that Lucky was
waiting in a bus to attack her.
It was learnt that on getting to
Olorunshogo junction, Lucky pursued his wife with the bus, crushing her legs in
the process.
