DOMESTIC VIOLENCE: Wife Stabs Husband To Death Over Infidelity Claims

With domestic violence cases increasing on a daily, a 33-year old man has reportedly murdered his wife. The sad incident happened in the Adekaa community, Gboko, Benue State, on Sunday, after the man, Joshua Terkaa-Uhir, allegedly stabbed his wife, Lucy, to death with an axe over claims she was having extramarital affairs.

In a similar incident, a woman, a wife and

mother Folashade Idoko, stabbed her husband, Lawrence, to death at their home in Ayetoro, Oto-Awori, Lagos State, when the deceased received a call from an alleged female lover.
According to Punchng, the first couple Joshua and Lucy had been married for about six years and have two children. The union has however been tumultuous for a while with their fights resulting in fisticuffs a couple of times.

Things, however, took a bad turn on Sunday when they again started having issues which resulted in the husband shutting the door against Lucy and beating her up. He was alleged to have used an axe to stab her in the neck and immediately fled through the window.

A neighbour of the couple, Aga-Samuel Barti, said before the incident, Joshua had been accusing the wife of maintaining an extramarital affair, adding that it was the reason for their argument.

Meanwhile, in Lagos State, Folashade also stabbed her husband, Lawrence, to death around 11pm on Sunday. It was learnt that the couple, who had been married for four years, also have two kids.
.
It was gathered that Lawrence, an engineer working in Ogun State, returned home that day after a week-long official duty. The wife reportedly accused him of engaging in extra-marital affair and an argument ensued.
.
In a fit of anger, Folashade reportedly stabbed him to death with a kitchen knife. She was later arrested. A neighbour, Mrs. Blessing Olokpobri, said Folashade was aggressive and violent, adding that people always tried to avoid having issues with her.
.
She said, “There was hardly a day they didn’t fight if the husband was at home. There was a time she went to meet him at a beer parlour. She dragged and stripped him. There was even a time she sliced his ear lobes with a broken bottle and it had to be stitched.”
