According to some residents of the said estate, the couple only moved into the estate three weeks ago with their two little kids.

The residents said that they didn't know much about the couple since they just moved in. It was also said that the couple were seen jogging on Saturday 20th June, a day before the incident.

A neighbor close by said that they heard loud music from the couples house and it continued for hours until they had to report to the estate authorities who came to the house to caution them. They also said that when they got to their house, they met the wife's sister with the two kids downstairs and complained to her about the music. The wife's sister quickly ran upstairs to call the attention of the couple to address the complaints, but discovered the doors were all locked and any attempt to open them were to no avail.

The estate authorities and the sister decided to break into the house only to be embraced by the gory sight. They discovered that the woman was tied down with cuts on her body. Different knifes were on the floor and her head was shaved with a clipper. The man had stabbed her head, her eyes and her body multiple times. The scene of the incident could only be compared to a horror movie. It was unbelievable.

According to the Spokesperson of the Lagos State Police Command, Bala Elkana who confirmed the incident as homicide and asked that the detectives start investigation immediately. the corpse of the deceased were transported to a hospital for an autopsy.

Bala Elkana said that two knives and two bottles of Sniper were found at the scene of the incident. He added that the woman had several injuries from stabbing while the husband was already foaming in the mouth. No one could ascertain what really transpired between the couple as investigation is still ongoing.

It is Alleged that a close friend to the couple said "Chris Ndukwe, 39, and Olamide Alli, 25, were said to have been dating on and off for over 7 years. They have a seven-year-old son and then had a second son, three years ago. However, trouble started when Chris began to doubt the paternity of their second child, insisting the child isn't his. It was gathered thaat Chris reportedly began to question the paternity of their second child after a mandatory DNA test they took for their Canadian visa showed that he was not the father of one of their children. He then questioned his wife, which led to him stabbing her to death, and then taking his own life. Chris allegedly tied her hands and taped her mouth, then began to uproot her braids with pliers. He then allegedly stabbed her viciously in the eyes, then about 11 times".

Is love really worth killing for? Can love be this selfish, jealous or cruel? Why not just walk away if you can't forgive? Why not kill yourself if you couldn't bear it, Why kill another person? I guess love needs a certain level of sanity and maturity before engaging in it.
