The Edo State Police Command has paraded a middle aged man identified as Emmanuel Asemota who allegedly beat his wife to death following a disagreement between them. In a video shared by Channels Television yesterday, the spokesman of the Edo State Police Command, Bello Kontongs has stated that the suspect was arrested after they received a complaint from his neighbours that one Victoria Asemota has been beaten to coma by her husband.
The neighbours stated that they have taken the victim to three different hospitals but she was rejected due to lack of security personnel together with them. The police then took the woman to a hospital where she was admitted for about 7 days before she died. Prior to her death, the woman stated that she was beaten to a pulp by her husband after he called her to his room but she told him that she was tired. She mentioned that he followed her to her room and attempted breaking the door, because she knew what will happen if he succeeded in entering the room, she tried to follow through the window and go out but he blocked her and started beating her till she lost consciousness.
While being paraded, the suspect stated that he beat Victoria to death because she refused to come to his room and sleep with him after he called her. He mentioned that he has been together with her since 2002 and they have two children. The suspect added that he did not intend to kill her, but unfortunately, she died after the incident.
