Kogi state.<\/p>\n<p>His father, Sule, was arrested by the police.<\/p>\n<p>According to the police, on Sunday 14\/01\/2024 the murder suspect sneaked into the house of Mrs. Esther Amali at about 4:30pm and stabbed her house help, Miss Mercy Iveren Wuese, who was in the kitchen.<\/p>\n<p>Mrs. Amale heard Mercy screaming and she rushed out of her room to find Mercy in a pool of blood.<\/p>\n<p>The suspect, Jemilu Sule, knowing that she was caught red handed in the act of murder, turned the knife and stabbed Mrs. Amalu four times.<\/p>\n<p>The suspect then jumped over the fence of the house and escaped.<\/p>\n<p>Esther, who did not die immediately, raised the alarm in her pool of blood, which caused neighbours to rush to the scene.<\/p>\n<p>Before she died on her way to the hospital, the deceased disclosed the identity of the suspects who lived in the neighborhood with his parents.<\/p>\n<p>The suspect fled to an unknown destination while his father was detained and police detectives traced him to Obajana.<\/p>\n<p>After two weeks, he was arrested and brought back to Benue State Police Command for prosecution over alleged murder of two people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Benue State Police Detectives have arrested a suspected serial killer, Jemilu Sule, in Obajana, Kogi State for
