A yet-to-be-identified woman has been stabbed to death by her househelp in her 29, Kiniun-Ifa Street, Sawmill apartment in the Gbagada area of Lagos.

No one could tell when exactly the fleeing househelp, now arrested identified simply as Peter, committed the murder.

However, the lifeless body of the woman was reportedly discovered on Saturday, March 9, by her son who came to visit.

The building which was under lock and key was said to be occupied only by the deceased occupant but there were three shops in front of the building.

A resident, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said, “The woman’s son, upon arriving at the compound, went straight to his mother’s apartment, only to find her lifeless body on the staircase, with blood all over.

“A long piece of wood suspected to be the murder weapon was also found. By then, the body had started swelling, suggesting that the woman might have been killed days before.”

The fleeing househelp resumed work a week before the tragedy occurred.

Information had it that a relative of the agent that brought the fleeing househelp had been arrested, but the unidentified agent was nowhere to be found.

Efforts to speak with the deceased son failed as he was too devastated to speak.

Policemen at the Ifako Police Division were said to have visited the scene and evacuated the corpse.

The Divisional Police Officer, DPO Owolabi Sefunmi, referred the reporter to the Lagos State Police Command, to see its spokesman.

However, when the Lagos State Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, was contacted, he stated that the househelp had been arrested, adding that the suspect had been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department, SCIID, Panti.
