A 25-year-old woman Rebecca Nicodemus has been arrested for st@bbing her senior rival, Precious, to de@th few minutes after sleeping with their husband
According to The Nation, the incident happened on February 4, at their residence in Idogun camp, Ode-Irele, Ondo State. Rebecca was said to have been jealous that her husband left her in bed during an ongoing s#x session to make love to the senior wife.
It was gathered that both women lived in a room and a parlour apartment with their husband. A fracas was said to have ensued between them when late Precious stepped out of the room where she slept with their husband. Rebecca was subsequently arrested and arraigned on a one count charge of murder before an Akure Magistrates’ Court.
Meanwhile, the suspect said it wasn’t her intention to k!ll the senior wife. According to her: “I came to Ondo State in January, 2022 and we were leaving in the same house. I am a farmer and we have been relating together in harmony alongside the deceased. On that fateful day, my husband was earlier with me in the living room but had to excuse himself on a pretext that we were not free to continue with our love making.
I was waiting for my husband when I discovered he was making love to the senior wife inside the bedroom. I also heard them making der0gatory remarks about me. So, I waited in the sitting room for my rival to come out from the room and when she came out, I challenged her over her unkind words.
Rather than the deceased to be apologetic, she suddenly grabbed my clothes which made me angry. So, I took a kn!fe on the table in our sitting room and st@bbed her at the back with the knife. It was not my intention to k!ll her, I over reacted in anger.”
