Two domestic staff of the late popular caterer and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Kitchen Country, in Akure, Ondo State, Mrs. Olakunbi Adene, have confessed how they killed their boss after she prepared a sumptuous meal for them.
The deceased was said to have prepared the meal for her domestic staff, two days after her 54th birthday to appreciate them.
They, however, killed her same night after she entertained them.
Recall that the late CEO of Kitchen Country in Akure, the Ondo State capital, was killed at her Oda Road residence in Akure metropolis.
Two suspects were arrested last week in Akure and ldanre, after police detectives tracked her two Android phones stolen by them after killing her.
A police source told Vanguard: “The first suspect was tracked to Idanre, where the driver was said to have fled while the second Android phone was tracked to Akure.
“One of the suspects said the three of them (Driver, P/A and another friend) went to their late boss’ house, who cooked for them on that fateful Thursday and after eating the delicious food, they descended on her, gagged her mouth and used two big cutlasses they brought along to severe her head while she was pleading to them to spare her life.
“The suspect said the generator was on between 6p.m., and 7p.m and the deafening noise of the generator did not let others know.
“They said they covered the deceased’s head with duvet and continued hitting her head, they later severed her wrist and leg. Not only this, the suspect said the other two were with knives and started stabbing her stomach, chest and breasts.
“Her intestines were said to have come out while the body was full of scars.
“The suspects in order to cover their tracks and want people to believe it was a fire accident, went to the kitchen and light the gas with matches, then opened the gas from the cylinder and emptied the gas in order to make it explode.
“They then covered it with rubber clothes to made it burn the whole house, so that people would think it was caused by gas explosion from the kitchen.
“But the gas cylinder did not explode as they planned. They then took her ATM cards and two Android phones and fled the scene.”
Speaking on the murder, her younger brother, Adebola Oyeneye, said: “I was the one who took the body to the mortuary, they burnt part of the stomach.”
Also speaking, the deceased husband, Dele Adene said the autopsy would be done later and confirmed that the killers used knives to stab her severally.
According to him, “I went with the police to the house last Friday looking for the knives they used, because one of them confessed that they used knives to stab her and when one broke, they picked another one, maybe the knife had been buried in her stomach. It’s when the autopsy is done that we would know.”
