Wonders shall never barely two
weeks after a young lady identified as Faith Akin was allegedly raped
to death by a middle aged man, a similar incident has been reported at
the Epe Police Station.
According to the report, 29-year-old Titus Ime (pictured above) raped
his in-law, a 19-year-old woman identified as Blessing John, to death.
The incident occurred in a forest at Epe. The suspect allegedly trailed
Blessing to her father’s farm, where he raped her to death.
Ime, reporting the incident, said he assaulted Blessing due to her
refusal to date him. The rapist cum murderer blamed his dastardly act on
his “great love" for the deceased.
“I just moved to Lagos from Akwa -Ibom State to look for a job when I
met Blessing. She is my in-law, as my uncle is married to her elder
sister," he said.
"As soon as I set my eyes on her, I fell in love with her but I kept it
to myself. When I could not bear it anymore, I went to her to declare
my love for her but she turned me down. I kept pestering her but she
refused blatantly that she did not love me; this made me angry.”
Ime added that despite Blessing’s refusal to date him, he had to device a means to force her to have sex with him.
“I did not intend to kill Blessing but my feeling for her was very
strong. So after monitoring her movement for some time, I discovered
that she goes to the farm to uproot cassava in the evening with her
father. That day, I trailed her from her house to the forest. She was
alone and she did not know I was following her, when she got into the
dense forest and there was no one in sight, I ran ahead of her and
grabbed her, and started declaring my love for her but she turned me
down.
"I was very angry and I grabbed her dress. She started struggling with
me but I took a big stick and hit her on her head, she slumped
immediately and I bend down over her and removed her skirt and had sex
with her. All this while, she did not respond but I still had sex with
her a second time but I do not know that she was dead; I thought she was
just unconscious.”
After committing the act, the suspect hid in the forest for four days.
He however came out of his hiding when he could not bear the hunger
anymore, and reported himself to his family who then handed him over to
the police for prosecution.
Blessing’s corpse were discovered by her father and has been deposited
at a public mortuary for autopsy, while the case has been transferred
to the Homicide department at Panti, Yaba for further investigation.
