An 84-year-old man who allegedly killed his 75-year-old wife has claimed that his action was the only solution to her starving him of sex.
Disclosing this to newsmen during a news conference on Wednesday in Benin, Edo state, the Police Public Relations Officer of the state’s command, SP Chidi Nwabuzor, said that the octogenarian was among the 198 suspect apprehended in the state for various crimes, such as armed robbery, kidnapping and murder, among others.
”The suspect is not remorseful. After killing his wife, he still claimed that his action was the only solution to her starving him of sex”.
Speaking to newsmen, the suspect said his wife had been denying him sex for a long time.
“My wife does not listen to me. Anytime I asked her to come and sleep with me, she will decline. We have given birth to seven children.
“I reported my wife to my family and hers too, but she failed to listen to them and continued with her old ways.
”Meanwhile, I heard that she has been sleeping with some pastors,” the suspect said.
