The Ekiti State Police Command has arrested a man, Victor Lorjaal, for allegedly killing his mother, Mrs. Victoria Lorjaal, and his elder sister, Brenda Lorjaal, with a machete.
Police Public Relations Officer, SP Sunday Abutu, confirmed the incident in a statement on Thursday, stating that it occurred on Tuesday around 7:10 a.m. on a farm in Aba Ile camp, Itaji-Ekiti.
“One of the children of the deceased, who is an eyewitness, narrated that while working with the suspect on the farm, he suddenly left him and went to meet their mother and sister at a distant location where they were also working,” Abutu said.
The eyewitness reported hearing their mother scream for help, but by the time he arrived, the suspect had already attacked the victims and fled with the cutlass.
Abutu added, “The Commissioner of Police, Joseph Eribo, has ordered a thorough investigation into the unfortunate incident.
“The suspect will be charged to court immediately after the completion of the investigation.”
The police have assured the public that justice would be served.
