| Murder suspect, Ime Titus |
Sadly, I have posted a
couple of rape stories on this blog within a short period, this is just alarming.
The story below is sadder especially when the victim was dead and still raped.
According to Daily Times report, 29-year-old Titus Ime raped his in-law, a 19-year-old woman identified as Blessing John, to death. The incident
occurred in a forest at Epe. The suspect allegedly trailed Blessing to her father’s farm, where he raped her to death.
Ime,
reporting the incident, said he assaulted Blessing
due to her refusal to date him. The rapist cum murderer blamed his dastardly
act on his “great love" for the
deceased.
“I
just moved to Lagos from Akwa -Ibom State to look for a job when I met
Blessing. She is my in-law, as my uncle is married to her elder sister”,
he said.
"As
soon as I set my eyes on her, I fell in love with her but I kept it to myself.
When I could not bear it anymore, I went to her to declare my love for her but
she turned me down. I kept pestering her but she refused blatantly that she did
not love me; this made me angry”.
Ime
added that despite Blessing’s
refusal to date him, he had to device a means to force her to have sex with
him.
“I
did not intend to kill Blessing but my feeling for her was very strong. So
after monitoring her movement for some time, I discovered that she goes to the
farm to uproot cassava in the evening with her father. That day, I trailed her
from her house to the forest. She was alone and she did not know I was
following her, when she got into the dense forest and there was no one in
sight, I ran ahead of her and grabbed her, and started declaring my love for
her but she turned me down”.
"I
was very angry and I grabbed her dress. She started struggling with me but I
took a big stick and hit her on her head, she slumped immediately and I bend
down over her and removed her skirt and had sex with her. All this while, she
did not respond but I still had sex with her a second time but I do not know
that she was dead; I thought she was just unconscious”.
After committing the act, the
suspect hid in the forest for four days. He however came out of his hiding when
he could not bear the hunger anymore, and reported himself to his family who
then handed him over to the police for prosecution.
Blessing’s
corpse was discovered by her father and has been deposited at a public mortuary
for autopsy, while the case has been transferred to the Homicide department at
Panti, Yaba for further investigation.
