It was learnt that the children of the victim have relocated their mother from the area because of embarrassment.

The suspect who asked his victims to forgive him said he was just released from prison.

“I don’t know what has come over me. I was just released from prison before the strike because of this bad behavior. I have been doing it for a long. Please, forgive me,” he pleaded.

Police sources said the suspect confessed to the crime while different phones, charms and dagger were recovered from his house.
