Residents of Igbokoda, the headquarters of Ilaje Local Government Area of Ondo State were in shock when an 18-year-old girl, Idowu Biletiri, reportedly stabbed her elder brother, Kehinde Biletiri to death.
It was reported that Idowu allegedly killed her brother during an intense argument. The argument was said to have started when the deceased questioned the suspect over her whereabouts in the previous days.
The suspect was alleged to have returned home after some days that she had left home and her brother was said to have probed her, seeking to know where she had been since she left home.
A source said, “The suspect, instead of answering her brother, reportedly went into an argument with him. When the argument was ongoing, the suspect went into the kitchen, took a knife, and stabbed her brother. Only two of them were at home when the incident happened.”
The source said the suspect was subsequently arrested and handed over to the police at the Igbokoda Police Division.
The Public Relations Officer of the State Police Command, Mr Tee Leo-Ikoro, confirmed the incident and said the command had commenced an investigation into the matter.
