Two domestic staff of the late popular caterer and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), of Kitchen Country, in Akure, Ondo State, Mrs. Olakunbi Adene, have confessed how they caused their boss’ death after she prepared a good meal for them just two days after her 54th birthday.
The suspects were arrested last week in Akure and ldanre, after police detectives tracked Adene’s Android phones stolen by them after killing her.
According to a police source, “The first suspect was tracked to Idanre, where the driver was said to have fled while the second Android phone was tracked to Akure.
“One of the suspects said the three of them (Driver, P/A and another friend) went to their late boss’ house, who cooked for them on that fateful Thursday and after eating the delicious food, they descended on her, gagged her mouth and used two big cutlasses they brought along to severe her head while she was pleading to them to spare her life.
“The suspect said the generator was on between 6p.m., and 7p.m and the deafening noise of the generator did not let others know. They said they covered the deceased’s head with duvet and continued hitting her head, they later severed her wrist and leg. Not only this, the suspect said the other two were with knives and started stabbing her stomach, chest and breasts.
“Her intestines were said to have come out while the body was full of scars. The suspects in order to cover their tracks and want people to believe it was a fire accident, went to the kitchen and light the gas with matches, then opened the gas from the cylinder and emptied the gas in order to make it explode.They then covered it with rubber clothes to make it burn the whole house, so that people would think it was caused by gas explosion from the kitchen. But the gas cylinder did not explode as they planned. They then took her ATM cards and two Android phones and fled the scene.”
The deceased’s younger brother, Adebola Oyeneye, also noted that they burnt part of Adene’s stomach. The deceased’s husband, Dele Adene said autopsy would be done later.
