In carrying out the dastardly act, the suspect had to engage the service of one Kenneth, from Sapon in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, and they bought two cutlasses, sharpened them to the edges and headed for his brother's abode in Ijako area of Sango-Otta, also in Ogun State.
According to a press release by the state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), ASP Abimbola Oyeyemi, "On getting there, they met the deceased, Azubuike Okoro and his wife, Jacinta, eating. Before the deceased persons could utter a word, the evil men had descended heavily on them and machetted them to death", the statement added.
After committing the heinous crime, the assailants made frantic efforts to escape, of which Kenneth did succeed in. Okwudili's attempts were foiled by residents, following which a report was made by one Joseph Nwagu, at the Sango-Otta Divisional Police Headquarters to the affect that a husband and wife had been hacked to death.
Upon the report, the DPO Sango Division, SP Nasirudeen Oyedele led detectives to the scene, where Okwudili was arrested.
On interrogation, the Ebonyi state-born suspect claimed to have served his deceased elder brother for good three years, and when it was time for him to be settled, his brother kept on posting him from time to time.
He further stated that, when he realized that his brother was not prepared to settle him accordingly, he contracted one Kenneth, who is now on the run, and they both set out to his brother's house where they killed him and the wife.
Oyeyemi, hinted that the two corpses have been deposited at the General Hospital, Otta mortuary for post mortem examination.
Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, CP Ahmed Iliyasu, has ordered the immediate transfer of the suspect to the Homicide Section of the state Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (SCIID), Abeokuta for discreet investigation.
The CP has equally directed that the escaped accomplice of the suspect be hunted for and brought to book within the shortest possible time, even as he appealed to residents of the state not to take any threat to their lives lightly, urging them to report such to the police, no matter who is involved.
