An abusive husband, Abodunde David Olubunmi, 48, who beat his wife to death with their son’s skateboard while police outside waited for permission to enter from superiors, has revealed the reason for his action.
According to report, Officers heard ‘a number of bangs’ inside the house which Olubunmi Abodunde had gone into, despite bail conditions imposed the day before that banned him from the property following another violent episode. When they finally entered 25 minutes later, they found Taiwo Abodunde, 41, with her ‘skull smashed in’.
Abodunde, who had been repeatedly investigated by Suffolk Police about domestic violence was due to go on trial for murder but changed his plea to guilty yesterday after a jury had been sworn in. Judge Martyn Levett, sitting at Ipswich Crown Court, warned him the only possible sentence was life imprisonment.
Abodunde had a history of jealousy and suspicion and accused his wife of having affairs. He had been investigated by police a number of times over alleged domestic violence incidents before his wife death. He was arrested on April 27 last year when police arrived at the couple’s home in Newmarket, Suffolk, and found Mrs Abodunde with a split lip.
